Description

In the hands of a dreamer, the 2024 Collings 0002H sings like a voice from the heavens, its notes carrying the wisdom of time and the warmth of firelight. Cloaked in a baked Sitka spruce top, aged to a golden glow, it whispers with the depth of experience, each grain a testament to its storied journey. The Indian rosewood back and sides embrace the sound, rich and resonant, like the hush of the forest before dawn. Beneath its heart lies a pre-war scalloped X-brace, a secret keeper of strength and flexibility, with Sitka spruce braces lending their breath to its voice.

The Honduran mahogany neck, carved into a modified V profile, rests against the palm like an old friend, its warmth inviting, its promise steadfast. The ebony fingerboard, dark as midnight, shimmers with short pattern abalone diamonds and squares, celestial markers guiding melodies across the frets of medium 18% nickel-silver. At its soul, an ebony pyramid bridge stands with quiet dignity, anchoring the spirit of song.

Every curve and contour speaks of artistry—the ivoroid body binding embracing the form, the herringbone top purfling framing its voice, the 2-style rosette and backstrip whispering of elegance in the details. The solid headstock, crowned with nickel Waverly tuning machines, gleams with understated grace, ready to hold pitch with unwavering resolve. Beneath the surface, a fully adjustable truss rod stands guard, ensuring longevity in both structure and song.

Draped in a high-gloss nitro lacquer finish, it shimmers like moonlight on still water, catching the eye as much as the ear. And when the music fades, it rests within its deluxe hard case, awaiting the next journey, the next story, the next soul to awaken its timeless song. With a 25.5" scale length, a 1 3/4" nut width, and a 2 3/16" bridge spacing, it is not merely an instrument—it is an invitation to create, to feel, to become. At 4 lbs 5 oz, it is light in the hands but heavy with the weight of tradition, passion, and the promise of melody yet to come.
