Best Collings Acoustic Models

• Collings OM2H – The OM2H is a modern orchestra model with exceptional balance and strong projection. Spruce over rosewood gives it rich lows, sparkling highs, and tight midrange. It suits fingerstyle players and those who want a versatile guitar that covers many genres.
• Collings D1– Known for punchy tone and clarity, the D1 features a Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides. This gives it a robust voice with warm mids—great for flatpickers and bluegrass musicians who want power and strong rhythmic presence.
• Collings C10 – A nod to vintage 1930s parlor guitars, the C10 sports a slim waist and a focused midrange. It’s comfortable for hours of couch playing, fingerpicking, or blues. The smaller body gives it a unique, expressive bark.
• Collings CJ-45 T – This model updates the classic slope-shoulder dreadnought with the Collings touch. Expect warm, dry tones and lots of volume. The CJ-45 T loves big strumming and vintage country but shines in all genres.
• Collings 0002H – The 0002H offers a delicate, articulate voice with singing sustain, favored by fingerstyle artists and those looking for loads of nuance. Its rosewood back and sides and longer scale make for great depth and clarity.
• Collings 001 – A 12-fret, small-bodied guitar that sounds far bigger than it looks. The 001 packs punch and sweetness—perfect for singer-songwriters, travel, or anyone who wants a lively, responsive guitar with vintage feel.
• Collings 002H – Like the 0002H but smaller, the 002H is responsive and airy. It’s a fingerstylist’s dream, capable of highlighting every nuance of your attack. This model handles light strumming and delicate picking well.
• Collings CJ – The Collings Jumbo has piano-like bass, sweet mids, and presence. It’s ideal for bold strummers, solo performers, and anyone who wants to fill the room with sound. The CJ stands out when you need stage-worthy volume.
• Collings D2HA – A dreadnought powerhouse pairing Adirondack spruce with rosewood for muscle and clarity. The D2HA gives bluegrass and folk players cutting highs, rich lows, and extra headroom for aggressive playing.
• Collings I-35 – Though better known as an electric model, the I-35’s inspiration can inform acoustic shoppers—it’s all about versatility, playability, and quality. For those who cross between electric and acoustic, the I-35 points to Collings‘s standards of comfort and tone.
• Collings OM1A – A spruce-and-mahogany OM that’s crisp, dry, and responsive. The OM1A is great for pickers and songwriters who want a guitar that reacts instantly to their touch, with quick note separation and a stage-ready presence.

Choosing the Right Collings Instrument

Budget

Collings offers acoustic guitars at a range of price points, from premium standard models to fully-loaded customs. Every Collings, regardless of price, gets the same detailed build and playability.

Sound

Collings acoustic guitars are known for articulate, balanced sound and outstanding note separation. They cut through without being bass-heavy, offering a clear voice for any style.

Tonewood

Select the tonewood that matches your vibe. If you want bright highs, a deep low end, and lush overtones, select Rosewood. For crisp, punchy sounds, opt for Adirondack Spruce. For smoothness and warmth, you can’t go wrong with Sitka Spruce.

Bridge Types

This brand offers classic belly and straight bridges, each designed to match the guitar’s top for ideal response and sustain. The bridge style influences the feel, sustain, and look, letting you pick what suits your playing best.

Colors

You’ll find choices from classic sunbursts, natural wood, and vintage-inspired finishes to contemporary colors. The brand’s nitrocellulose finishes age gracefully while showing off the grain, matching both vintage taste and modern style.

Genre and Style Compatibility

Large-bodied models (like D1, D2HA, CJ) are perfect for strummers and flatpickers. Smaller models (0002H, 001, 002H, OM2H) fit fingerstyle players and singer-songwriters looking for detail and subtlety.

Neck Profile

Most of this brand’s necks use a comfortable medium C shape, but slim 60’s-style necks are an option for fast players or those with smaller hands. Guitarists who prefer a vintage chunk can find that too.

Amps and Pedals

Collings acoustics come ready for pickup installation and can be equipped with modern electronics from top brands. This ensures strong performance whether you’re plugging straight into an amp or running through pedals.

Frets and Fingerboards

Ebony fingerboards come standard on most Collings, providing a smooth, durable playing surface. The frets are precisely set for easy action, clean bends, and long-lasting playability—no matter how much you gig.
