New Collings 01 12 Fret with a Mahogany Top. With softer contours and a longer body dimension than our 0 14-Fret
model, the 0 12-Fret has a balanced and full tone with slightly more
bass and overall volume. First introduced in 1854, the articulate tone
and convenient size of the "0" 12-Fret body dimensions have remained
popular to this day. Featuring a comfortable short 24 7/8" scale and a
wide 2 5/16" string spacing at the bridge, this model is well suited to
both finger style and strumming techniques and excels as a recording
instrument. Convenient as a travel guitar but with the authoritative
tone of a performance instrument, this model is versatile choice for any
guitarist.
