The Collings name in the guitar world has become synonymous with top quality woods and craftsmanship. The new Collings C100 is the bigger, bolder cousin to their classic C10 model and the newest bodyshape in the Collings acoustic guitar line.
The C100 combines parlor-style proportions with the power and volume of a large-bodied instrument. With a nearly 16” lower bout and 4¾” body depth, the C100 offers no shortage of solid, low-end response, yet the narrow waist and non-scalloped bracing design provide exceptional balance and clarity typically found only in smaller-bodied instruments. Whether you’re a flatpicker, finger-style player, or something in between, the C100 offers impressive versatility and just might be the ideal companion for singer-songwriters looking to fill the room with sound while still leaving space for vocals to shine through.
