The Collings 002HA 14-Fret T is a masterpiece of traditional acoustic guitar craftsmanship, exuding vintage charm while delivering the impeccable tone and responsiveness that Collings is renowned for. Designed with the Traditional Series build and voicing construction, this guitar is a testament to the golden era of acoustic instruments, balancing warmth, clarity, and projection in perfect harmony.

At its core, the Adirondack spruce top ensures a dynamic and lively response, offering incredible headroom and a shimmering brilliance that only improves with age. Paired with the East Indian rosewood back and sides, this combination produces a rich, deep bass, articulate mids, and a sparkling high end—perfect for fingerstyle players and flatpickers alike. The Sitka spruce bracing, meticulously pre-war scalloped in design, enhances resonance and sustain, allowing every note to bloom with remarkable depth and character.

The playability is effortless, thanks to the Honduran mahogany neck, shaped into a traditional profile that feels both substantial and supremely comfortable. The ebony fingerboard, adorned with elegant gold mother-of-pearl short diamond & squares inlays, glides smoothly beneath the fingers, while the compound 14”–26” radius ensures a natural, ergonomic feel across the neck. The 1 3/4” nut width and 2 5/16” bridge spacing provide ample room for intricate fingerpicking while maintaining a balanced and precise fretting experience.

Visually, the 002HA 14-Fret T is breathtaking. The ivoroid body binding, accented with small brown herringbone purfling, adds a refined vintage aesthetic, while the custom wood rosette frames the soundhole with understated elegance. The stained exotic ebony peghead veneer, adorned with a gold MOP Collings logo, enhances the instrument’s sophisticated look, complemented by the classic square peghead profile with volute. A tortoise pickguard completes the timeless appearance, seamlessly blending tradition with modern refinement.

Every detail has been meticulously considered, from the cutthrough bone saddle and ebony belly-style bridge to the nickel Waverly tuning machines, ensuring precise intonation and tuning stability. Finished in a high-gloss ultra-thin nitrocellulose lacquer, the guitar’s resonance is unhindered, allowing for a beautifully open and natural tone. Weighing just 4 lbs 1 oz, this instrument is supremely comfortable to hold, making it a joy to play for extended sessions.

Whether you're a seasoned performer or an avid collector, the Collings 002HA 14-Fret T is an acoustic treasure—a stunning fusion of vintage tone, exquisite craftsmanship, and modern precision. Nestled in its deluxe hardshell case, this guitar is not just an instrument but an heirloom, destined to inspire for generations to come.
