Default NGD: Collings "00-21" 14-fret

Ok, Collings doesn't make a 00-21, but that was our description when working up the custom order. Essentially a 002 but no herringbone, tort binding. Full spec:

Baked sitka top, rosewood back and sides
Adi bracing, no tongue brace
1-23/32" nut, 2-3/16" bridge
satin neck finish
no pick guard
drilled for endpin jack

It is a little fire-cracker of a guitar - has the chime of rosewood without being overbearing or overly bright. Very balanced sound out of the gate. Just need to plop the NC-2 into it and it'll get gigged next weekend.





















and on the rack with the siblings

a quick and dirty comparison of the three in the house. iPhone mic so you get what you get but they sound quite different in the room. Cameo appearance by The Minister.

This is a great little guitar, and we loved helping the order get realized! The 00 14-fret has so much going for it.
