The Collings 002HA-T is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, blending traditional design with meticulous modern refinement to deliver an acoustic guitar of extraordinary elegance and tonal clarity. Featuring an Adirondack spruce top, renowned for its unparalleled responsiveness and dynamic range, and East Indian rosewood back and sides, which imbue the instrument with rich harmonic depth and complexity, this guitar offers a sonic palette that is as diverse as it is captivating.The body construction adheres to Collings' esteemed Traditional Series build, emphasizing pre-war voicing techniques for a warm, open resonance and vintage-inspired character. A Honduran mahogany neck, shaped to a comfortable Traditional profile with a slight taper and a volute, enhances both playability and stability. The compound radius ebony fingerboard, adorned with gold mother-of-pearl short diamond and square inlays, offers a luxurious yet understated aesthetic. The tapered slotted square peghead with a stained exotic ebony veneer further highlights the guitar's refined appearance, complemented by Waverly nickel tuners for precise tuning and effortless adjustments.Bound with ivoroid accented by small brown herringbone purfling, the 002HA-T exudes a timeless charm, while features such as the custom wood rosette and 2-style "zipper" backstrip add subtle yet distinctive details. The ebony pyramid-style bridge with 2 5/16" string spacing provides a vintage touch, paired with bone nut and saddle components to ensure exceptional tonal transfer and sustain.Finished in a high-gloss, ultra-thin nitrocellulose lacquer, the guitar's lightweight construction maximizes acoustic efficiency, allowing the intricacies of its Sitka spruce scalloped X-bracing to shine. The shorter 24 7/8" scale length offers a comfortable playing experience while enhancing the instrument's warmth and responsiveness. With its tortoise pickguard and ivoroid bridge pins with black dots, the Collings 002HA-T epitomizes elegance, marrying tradition with innovation in a small-bodied guitar that sings with exceptional clarity and balance.Other specifications include:Top Adirondack spruceBack & Sides E.
