The Collings C10-35SB is a limited-production instrument that brings an entirely new voice to one of Collings' most beloved body sizes, built around specially selected ultra-lightweight tonewoods and a suite of vintage-inspired features that set it apart from anything else in the C10 family. Like its larger sibling the CJ-35, the C10-35SB produces a dry, punchy, and snarly acoustic tone with a beautifully even response across the full frequency range - all delivered in the compact, comfortable C10 package that has made this body size a favourite among fingerstyle players and flatpickers alike. The combination of a Sitka spruce top, Honduran mahogany back and sides, and pre-war non-scalloped Adirondack X-bracing with two tone bars gives this guitar a tonally focused, immediate character with a forward attack and remarkable clarity.

Wenge fingerboard and bridge, ivoroid body binding, a simple ivoroid rosette with b/w purfling, Waverly nickel tuners with ivoroid buttons, a tigerstripe pickguard, ebony peghead veneer with ivoroid Collings logo, and a bone cutthrough saddle with ivoroid bridge pins complete a specification that is as thoughtful and considered as every guitar Collings builds in their Austin, Texas workshop. The mortise and tenon hybrid neck joint, compound 14-26" fingerboard radius, and Vintage Now neck profile deliver a playing experience that is immediately comfortable and unmistakably premium.

This guitar is in great condition, with light playwear (including a few very small lacquer-level indentations and scratches) and a great medium action, and it's ideal for players who want the dry, focused, punchy voice of a vintage-inspired small-body acoustic from one of the world's most highly regarded acoustic guitar builders. Includes original Collings case.
