Collings / C 10 SITKA/MAHOGANY / 2004 / Guitar
C-10
Based on guitars first introduced around the same time as the OM, the Collings C10 is a leaner alternative, with the narrow waist and small upper bout resulting in a precise, focused response. Of all our acoustic models, the C10 is perhaps the easiest for electric guitarists to adapt to, thanks in part to the more rounded neck profile. The small oval neck heel is ideally suited to the optional cutaway, which allows unrestricted access to the upper frets. With its unique shape and asymmetrical headstock’s lines echoed in the curvilinear pickguard, C10 models offer a welcome alternative for those who find that most small acoustic guitars look too much alike.
Mahogany back and sides, select spruce top, prewar scalloped bracing, simple ivoroid binding and rosette and tortoise style pickguard. Gloss-finished mahogany neck with rosewood peghead and mother of pearl Collings logo. Ebony fingerboard and bridge, small dot markers and nickel Schaller mini-tuners
