2012 Collings 02HGVN Natural, Near Mint, Original Hard, $3,249.00
I was looking for something special in the way of a parlor-size guitar for my inventory and came across this lovely Collings 02HGVN. At just 38" long and 13 7/16" wide at the lower bout, this diminutive instrument is small in size but big in it's output! This 14-fret guitar has a 24 7/8" string scale, a 1.75" nut width and 2 3/16" string spacing. The top is German Spruce, while the back and sides are East Indian Rosewood. The neck shape is Collings 'Vintage Now' carve, a neck shape which is slightly larger than their 'Modified V', but smaller than their largest 'Vintage' size and to me it feels just right. The guitar's short scale makes iy very easy to play and quite responsive. It's an amazingly powerful little package with a full and balanced output. The German Spruce top is stiffer than Sitka, giving it a rich voice, and is more flexible than Adirondack, giving it better response to the player's touch. I've pictured it next to a standard size OM guitar to provide a sense of the scale of this instrument. It is extremely comfortable to play and you will want to keep it close by your favorite chair. This guitar is in virtually unplayed condition with few if any signs of play. It comes with it's original Collings/TKL case in similarly pristine condition. A new example of this guitar would cost about $4,350. Get this near mint example for a grand less. An extremely nice small scale instrument with a surprisingly big sonic punch!
