The Collings 000-42 Koa & Old Growth Sitka Spruce is a breathtaking masterpiece that beautifully marries the rarest woods with meticulous craftsmanship, delivering a tonal experience unlike any other. Featuring a top made of Old Growth Sitka Spruce, renowned for its deep, rich resonance and clarity, this guitar exudes a warmth and complexity that opens up with every strum. Paired with Figured Koa back and sides, it brings an exquisite balance of brightness, complexity, and dynamic range, ideal for both fingerpicking and strumming. The tonal depth is enhanced by Adirondack Spruce Pre-War Scalloped X Bracing, allowing for an expansive voice with remarkable sustain and projection, all while keeping the guitar light and responsive.
Visually, the 000-42 stands as a testament to exceptional artistry. The ivoroid body, fingerboard, and headstock bindings offer a classic elegance, while the 42 Style Abalone Top Border and Abalone Rosette deliver intricate, shimmering details that elevate the guitar’s appearance to a level of rare sophistication. A Mosaic Backstrip further enhances its beauty, ensuring that every angle of the instrument is equally captivating. The Honduran Mahogany neck, with a Standard Modified V profile, provides comfort and playability, whether you're playing intricate chords or expansive lead lines.
The ebony fingerboard, adorned with 42 Style Abalone Snowflakes inlays, invites the player to explore its smooth surface with a sense of effortless flow. The Ebony Pyramid Bridge further complements the guitar’s visual and tonal elegance, providing excellent string control and superb resonance. A slotted headstock, crowned with an Abalone Torch Inlay, adds a refined touch of artistry, making this instrument as stunning to look at as it is to play.
Functionally, the Collings 000-42 is built for serious musicians. Equipped with Gold Waverly tuning machines and a fully adjustable truss rod, the guitar offers unmatched tuning stability and customization, while the Mortise & Tenon Hybrid Neck Joint ensures exceptional longevity and precision in every note. The guitar’s 25 1/2" scale length, 1 3/4" nut width, and 2 3/16" bridge spacing provide the ideal setup for effortless chording and fast lead work, while the medium 18% nickel-silver frets offer smooth playability across the fretboard.
The high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish not only enhances the guitar’s rich tone but also adds a stunning shine that will continue to mature and deepen with time, just like the instrument itself. Weighing only 4 lbs 0 oz, the 000-42 feels perfectly balanced and comfortable, making it the ideal choice for long playing sessions.
This guitar comes with a deluxe hard case, ensuring that this fine instrument remains protected as it travels with you on musical journeys. Whether you’re an accomplished player seeking a one-of-a-kind performance tool or a collector looking for the ultimate in acoustic beauty and sound, the Collings 000-42 Koa & Old Growth Sitka Spruce is a guitar that transcends expectations, an heirloom-quality instrument that will inspire and captivate for generations to come.
