❌SOLD❌ Collings 0001 12-Fret Steel String Natural, 2012

❌SOLD❌  Collings 0001 12-Fret Steel String Natural, 2012

Here is a wonderful Collings 0001 with a 12-fret full 25.5 inch scale neck, built with Sitka Spruce top and Honduran Mahogany. Built during 2012 in Austin and signed by Bill Collings, this guitar is in very good clean condition.  While this guitar is now almost a decade old, it has been very well cared for.  It’s also been owned and played by someone with highly developed skills, and so the guitar has had a chance to develop its frankly impressive voice.

❌SOLD❌ Martin M-36 Steel String Guitar Natural, 2012

❌SOLD❌    Martin M-36 Steel String Guitar Natural, 2012

The Martin M-36 is based on the very successful Martin M, or 0000 ‘Quadruple O’ size body. This is larger than any of the single to triple 0 size bodies, yet smaller than a dreadnought; consequently it is fairly loud with great projection, and has a very evenly represented tone and is very comfortable to play. It’s ideal for solo performers but fits well into ensembles and extremely well into recording situations.
