Description

The Collings Baby 2G with a German Spruce top and Indian Rosewood back and sides is a masterclass in craftsmanship and tonal excellence. Its compact body delivers a sound that is surprisingly bold and resonant, enhanced by the German Spruce top's responsiveness and the warm, articulate voice of Indian Rosewood. Supporting this are Adirondack Spruce braces arranged in a pre-war scalloped X-brace pattern, a design that optimizes projection and tonal complexity. The Honduran Mahogany neck, sculpted in a modified V profile, provides a comfortable yet traditional feel, complemented by the compound radius ebony fingerboard adorned with short-pattern abalone diamonds and squares inlay.

Aesthetic details abound, including Koa binding on the body, tail wedge, and heel cap, which contrast beautifully against the high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish. The 2-style ivoroid rosette, zipper backstrip, and exotic ebony headstock veneer with a mother-of-pearl Collings logo add understated elegance. Nickel Waverly tuning machines ensure precision, while the bone nut and drop-in saddle contribute to the instrument’s exceptional tonal clarity.

With a scale length of 24 1/8", a nut width of 1 3/4", and a bridge spacing of 2 3/16", this guitar offers excellent playability for intricate fingerstyle work or articulate flatpicking. Every detail, from the tortoise pickguard to the fully adjustable truss rod and mortise and tenon hybrid neck joint, reflects the unparalleled quality synonymous with Collings guitars. The Baby 2G is not merely an instrument; it’s a work of art designed to inspire musicians and elevate their craft.
