Now in Stock: Collings C-10 TFOA custom Cherry red

Custom options/Upgrades/Remarks: 

Collings is Bill Collings 'Baby' and Collings Guitars are made in Austin Texas. It is strange that one of most famous and greatest American Acoustic Guitar brands like Collings, is widely unknown in Europe. I wouldn't dare stating that almost every American guitar playing Professional musician at least owns one Collings guitar or mandolin since Collings Guitars have been the choice of musicians who seek the finest handmade instruments available including their fabulous mandolins, electric guitars and ukulele! You owe it to yourself to try a Collings.

And this This Collings C10 is a treat for the musician. Not only does it look good, it sounds equally good! This is a C-10 in cherry red, in my guitar-dreams it doesn't get much cooler than this! I remembered the custom colors of the 1960s, and imagined how good it would look on a C-10.  I also asked for the white details to match ith the cherry red finish. And see what a great effort the people at Collings made! The C-10 is a dream to play, with a powerful midsection, tonally very focussed, but still with the great quality of delivering a crisp bass response, often muddy in other guitars, and equally impressive mellow treble response that is often raspy in other guitars. Despite it's small size it's big and lush sounding, but with a bit of that old time bluesie character that feels like having a reverb on board. It's a very versatile instrument of top-Quality, and they are simply amazing guitars to play and mature vastly while played.

The guitar features a Selected Sitka Spruce top and Premium Honduras Mahogany back and sides. Over the years we learned Sitka spruce has a rounder less bright response compared to Adirondack spruce that gives a brighter more punchy response. We learned Adirondack is not the best tone-wood for gentle players who seek definition and a sort of matured roundness from the start common to Sitka Spruce that automatically delivers a warm and round tone. This C-10 looks very 'Deluxe' and 'Special' and you can be sure it is, there is only one like this!
