Not too easy to find anywhere

I have a 02H but have played a few Collings 00s as well recently. I find the tone to be pretty similar between the two. You might look to see if you can find an 0 around locally to try.

I purchased one here in the states in January and it's absolutely phenomenal. by far my most played guitar. I know that doesn't help, but yeah - they're great.

I mentioned those two sites becuase you get a chance to hear the actual instrument you might be purchasing. TNAG has several Collings that you can listen to.

Good luck in your search

I have a 12 fret and would be curious what people would think is similar.

i tried 12 frets collings 002h. very different in my opinion, too wide neck for me (46 mm) and i would prefer 14 frets. anyway great guitar also 12 frets, great for fingerstyle
