Sale Pending - Collings 02H - Sitka Spruce & Indian Rosewood #36765

The Collings 02H is a masterfully crafted small-body acoustic that delivers extraordinary balance, responsiveness, and refined, vintage-inspired character. Built with a Sitka spruce top and East Indian rosewood back and sides, this guitar produces a voice that is rich, articulate, and remarkably dynamic, with shimmering highs, focused mids, and a warm, piano-like low end that far exceeds its compact dimensions.

Every detail of the 02H reflects Colling's uncompromising dedication to precision craftsmanship. The Honduran mahogany neck is carved to a comfortable Modified V profile, offering a substantial yet effortless feel in the hand, while the ebony fingerboard features elegant abalone short diamond and square inlays that perfectly complement the guitar’s understated sophistication. A compound fingerboard radius from 14" to 26" enhances playability across the entire neck, making both intricate fingerstyle passages and expressive lead work feel fluid and natural.

Visually, the 02H strikes a perfect balance between vintage tradition and boutique refinement. Ivoroid body binding with classic herringbone purfling frames the body beautifully, while the torch peghead inlay, zipper backstrip, tortoise pickguard, and nickel Waverly tuners create a timeless aesthetic filled with subtle elegance.

Under the hood, the pre-war scalloped Sitka spruce X-bracing allows the instrument to breathe with exceptional openness and responsiveness. The short 24 7/8" scale length adds warmth and a slightly relaxed string feel, making the guitar incredibly inviting to play for hours on end. Paired with an ebony belly-style bridge, bone nut and saddle, and premium construction throughout, the 02H offers remarkable sustain, clarity, and tonal complexity.

Finished in high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer on the body, with a durable high-gloss polyester neck finish, this Collings feels every bit as luxurious as it sounds. At an astonishingly light 3 lbs. 12 oz., the guitar feels alive in your hands, resonating effortlessly with every touch.

Complete with a deluxe hardshell case, the Collings 02H is a truly inspiring acoustic instrument that captures the soul of a vintage heirloom while delivering the precision, consistency, and playability demanded by today’s discerning players.
