Collings Guitar for Sale: 01G 12-fret German Spruce/Walnut
Collings 01G 12-fret, German spruce/Walnut - Bill Collings Signed Label
Purchased from The Music Emporium, this is a a wonderful sample of a "single oh" sized guitar from Collings. The lower bout is just 13 3/4" wide, so this is a great guitar for uke players interested in trying guitar.
Of course, the build is impeccably well-executed. The tone is warm and surprisingly full for a small-bodied guitar. Wonderful overtones, too. The 12-fret 01's are really where it's at in a smaller-bodied guitar. This guitar is in excellent condition and could pass for a new, but shop-played guitar. Bill Collings signed label (see photo).
Love this guitar but have too many (8!) and figure this is one that should sell easily since these are not easy to come by.
Specs below and I've also attached a couple of photos. For more photos, see original photos as posted by TME here:

· German Spruce top
· Walnut back & sides
· Ebony pyramid-style bridge
· Bone nut & saddle
· Waverly Tuners
· 24 7/8" Scale length
· 1 13/16" nut width
· 2 5/16" string spacing
· TKL Case
· Serial No. 26071
Smoke-free, cat-free home home that is maintained at 45-55% humidity. When the instrument is cased, it always has Humidipak's.
Sorry, I'm not interested in trades because I should move some out and get down to 5-6 instruments. If I didn't want to reduce my count, I'd be keeping this. While I tend to prefer more figured woods, this sounds absolutely lovely. Wouldn't at all be disappointed to hang onto it, but happy for it to land in a new home.
Was $3,500 shipped ground, CONUS, price reduced to $3,300
I have sold scores of ukes (and a guitar) here on UU and FMM. I always offer a 3-day inspection period. If not completely satisfied, notify me within 3-days and send back to me at your cost in same condition and I will refund all but my shipping cost to you.
Thanks!
