Includes OHSC and complimentary set up.
Collings' smallest model is a rarity among fractional size guitars: mostlisteners never guess that it's not a full-size instrument unless they see it beingplayed. While lacking the deep bass of larger guitars the tone is remarkablybalanced, with adequate volume for most applications. The Collings Baby is approximately a ¾ size version of our OM, 12 ½ inches wide in the lower bout with a 24 ⅛ inch scale, and the headstock and bridge are scaled to match. Sometimes the Baby is used as a travel guitar, but it often sees duty as a songwriter's tool, the guitar that's ready at a moment's notice and can be played while seated in any position. Like other Collings acoustic models, the Baby Series is available in a variety of tonewoods and appointments.
