The Collings 0002H SS Cutaway combines traditional acoustic craftsmanship with a compact body, short-scale feel, and added upper-fret access. Handcrafted in Austin, Texas, this 2021 example features a solid Sitka Spruce top paired with solid East Indian Rosewood back and sides, delivering a balanced, articulate voice with rich overtones, clear trebles, and a warm, full-bodied response.
The 000 body shape and 12-fret neck joint give the instrument a distinctive feel, while the 24 7/8" short scale offers a relaxed playing experience with a comfortable string feel. The Venetian cutaway provides easier access to the upper frets without compromising the guitar's traditional styling.
Style 2 appointments include herringbone top purfling, Ivoroid body binding, an Ebony fingerboard with decorative inlays, and an Ebony pyramid bridge. Pre-war-inspired scalloped X-bracing completes the construction, reflecting Collings' attention to detail and tonal balance.
This Collings 0002H SS Cutaway is supplied with its original Collings deluxe hardshell case.
