NEW ARRIVAL Once again Collings take their inspiration from early small bodied Martins, and the simplicity and classic lines of this 01 12 Fret really are a thing of beauty. It’s an 0 sized 12 fretter with Spruce top and Mahogany back and sides. Being a Collings the attention to detail is superb, with all the classic touches such as an Ebony fingerboard and pyramid bridge, plus open back Waverley tuners.

Perfect for stage or studio, it’s in excellent condition, and comes in its original luxury hard case.
