ON HOLD - Used - Collings 0042 Braa A (1998)

And here ya go - a rare used Collings 0042 Brazillian Adirondack from 1998...

Stunning woods, amazing projection and sound - these don't come up on the used market often as they are typically kept for life.

Collings offers the 00 in its original, 12-fret configuration, a guitar shape that was first designed around the time of the Civil War. Its dimensions are similar to a typical classical guitar, with a slotted headstock and small pyramid bridge. The comfortable size and timeless appearance of the Collings 00 is matched by the ease of playing a wide neck and shorter string scale affords. The tone is typically balanced and precise, and we've seen it adopted for a wide range of playing styles from simple vocal accompaniment to ragtime solos. When you want the durability of a modern guitar but one that appears rooted in an earlier, simpler time, the 00 is a versatile choice.
