Of all their acoustic models, the C10 is perhaps the easiest for electric guitarists to adapt to, thanks in part to the more rounded neck profile. The small oval neck heel is ideally suited to the optional cutaway, which allows unrestricted access to the upper frets. With its unique shape and asymmetrical headstock’s lines echoed in the curvilinear pickguard, C10 models offer a welcome alternative for those who find that most small acoustic guitars look too much alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe C10 we have here is a Deluxe 41 style - it has rare appointments with MOP inlays in the fleur de lis design.  We called Collings about this guitar and were told that it was rarely done, making this quite the special find.  This is something that was not done on a regular basis and only available on custom orders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe guitar features East Indian rosewood back and sides paired with a Sitka spruce top.  The Honduran mahogany neck has a very comfortable C profile, topped with an Ebony fretboard that has a 14 - 26\" compound radisu. The backstrip is maple\/rosewood, and since it's a Deluxe you get ivoroid binding on the fingerboard and peghead.  It has a 25 1\/2″ scale length, b\/w\/b\/w\/b top purfling, and a bone nut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Collings C10 Deluxe produces a sound that is precise, focused, and punchy, delivering an exceptional tonal balance along with unexpected volume and a swift response for a guitar of its compact size.  Even though it's relatively small, it often exceeds the volume and low-end presence of larger traditional guitars.  The body shape helps create a precise response and avoids a muddy bottom end, and while the bass is still present and warm, the real star is the dynamic punch of the midrange and crispness of the top end.  It's a well balanced tone and quite pleasing to the ear.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eThe guitar is in excellent condition considering it has passed it's 30th birthday.  It has been played, and shows signs of that, just as it should - but nothing major, just honest player wear and a few marks.  Over the years, it's settled in nicely and aged just as you'd want it.  The techs in our shop have vetted and set it up to play perfectly.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eThe original hardshell case is included.  Any Collings guitar is a great score, but this C10 Deluxe really stands out as a winner.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop: Sitka spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack \u0026amp; Sides: Ewast Indian rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck: Honduran mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Profile: C-shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 25 1\/2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard: Ebony with MOP long dots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Radius: 14\" - 26\" compound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: Binding Ivoroid with b\/w\/b\/w\/b purfling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Binding: .100\" ivoroid with b\/w purfling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeghead Binding: .100\" ivoroid with b\/w purfling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: Ebony straight-style with 2 3\/16\" spacing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Pins\/End Pin: Ebony with MOP dot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut: Bone, 1 11\/16\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaddle: Bone, drop-in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeghead Profile: Haircut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Joint: Mortise \u0026amp; tenon hybrid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTruss Rod: Fully adjustable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrets: Medium 18% nickel-silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeghead Veneer: Ebony with MOP Collings logo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuners: Nickel Waverly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBackstrip: Deluxe (maple\/rosewood)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRosette: Ivoroid with b\/w purfling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrace Material: Sitka spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrace Pattern: Pre-war scalloped X-brace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Finish: High gloss nitrocellulose lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Finish: High gloss polyester resin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: Tortoise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSerial Number: 1829\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Collings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50898440782067,"sku":"84COL013","price":6499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/files\/1-Img49426.jpg?v=1788484051","url":"https:\/\/www.truetonemusic.com\/products\/pre-owned-collings-1995-c-10-deluxe-41-natural-with-ohsc","provider":"Truetone Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
