{"product_id":"collings-003","title":"Collings 003","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 003 is the 12-fret 00 in Collings' 3 style: East Indian rosewood with a Sitka spruce top, ivoroid binding on the body, fingerboard and slotted peghead, and an abalone rosette. The ebony board carries no inlay, the bridge pins have abalone dots, the tuners are gold Waverlys and a chevron backstrip runs down the back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCollings puts the 00 close to a classical guitar in size, at 14 1\/4\" wide, and traces the shape to around the Civil War. The 24 7\/8\" scale lowers string tension, the 1 13\/16\" nut gives fingerpicking room, and with the neck joining at the 12th fret the pyramid bridge sits nearer the centre of the lower bout. Collings describes the voice as balanced and precise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 002H is this body with herringbone trim, and the 003 14-Fret takes the same appointments to the 14-fret 00. Other tops, finishes, trim, inlays and more are available from Collings, listed below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe photo shows one example build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOptions for this model include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdirondack, old-growth Sitka, European, Engelmann or torrefied spruce top\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFigured mahogany, cocobolo or figured maple back and sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSunburst or Western shaded top, full-body sunburst, Doghair or Jet Black finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdirondack bracing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbalone rosette or abalone top border\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWood binding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeghead inlays (Torch, Flowerpot, Vine, Flourish, Rose)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard inlays (snowflakes, Tree of Life and others)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut width and neck options\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeft-handed build\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrice subject to change based on options chosen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBODY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCountry of Origin: USA (built in Austin, Texas)\u003cbr\u003eTop: Sitka spruce\u003cbr\u003eBack \u0026amp; Sides: E.
