{"product_id":"collings-baby-1","title":"Collings Baby 1","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Baby 1 is the smallest guitar Collings builds, roughly a three-quarter-size OM at 12 1\/2\" across the lower bout, with a Sitka spruce top over Honduran mahogany back and sides. The headstock and bridge are scaled down to match, and Collings says it gives up the deep bass of their bigger bodies for a balanced voice with volume enough for most uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 24 1\/8\" scale lowers string tension, and the modified V neck has a 1 11\/16\" bone nut. It's built the same way as the full-size models, with a pre-war scalloped X-brace, a mortise and tenon hybrid neck joint, an ebony board and nitrocellulose lacquer. Tortoise binding, mother-of-pearl dots and a walnut backstrip make up the 1-style trim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCollings says it travels well, and that it often ends up as a songwriting guitar kept ready to pick up. For rosewood and herringbone on the same body, look at the Baby 2H. Collings offers tops, finishes, trim and inlays for it, 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: Honduran mahogany\u003cbr\u003eBrace Material: Sitka spruce\u003cbr\u003eBrace Pattern: Pre-war scalloped X-brace\u003cbr\u003eBody Binding: Tortoise with b\/w\/b\/w top purfling\u003cbr\u003eRosette: b\/w Purfling\u003cbr\u003eBackstrip: 1-style (Walnut)\u003cbr\u003ePickguard: Tortoise\u003cbr\u003eBody Finish: High gloss nitrocellulose lacquer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNECK\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeck: Honduran mahogany\u003cbr\u003eNeck Profile: Modified V\u003cbr\u003eNeck Joint: Mortise \u0026amp; tenon hybrid\u003cbr\u003eScale Length: 24 1\/8\"\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard: Ebony with MOP short dots\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Radius: 14\" - 26\" compound\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Binding: None\u003cbr\u003eFrets: Medium 18% nickel-silver\u003cbr\u003eNut: Bone, 1 11\/16\"\u003cbr\u003eTruss Rod: Fully adjustable\u003cbr\u003ePeghead Profile: Square with volute\u003cbr\u003ePeghead Veneer: Ebony with MOP Collings logo\u003cbr\u003ePeghead Binding: None\u003cbr\u003eNeck Finish: High gloss polyester resin\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHARDWARE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBridge: Ebony small belly-style with 2 3\/16\" spacing\u003cbr\u003eSaddle: Bone, drop-in\u003cbr\u003eBridge Pins\/End Pin: Ebony with MOP dot\u003cbr\u003eTuners: Nickel Waverly\u003cbr\u003eStrings: D'Addario EJ-16 (.012\"- .053\")\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDIMENSIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody Width: 12 1\/2\"\u003cbr\u003eBody Length: 17 1\/8\"\u003cbr\u003eBody Depth: 3 15\/16\"\u003cbr\u003eTotal Length: 36 1\/2\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCASE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCase: Deluxe hardshell case\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Collings","offers":[{"title":"Natural","offer_id":47921387143252,"sku":"COL-BABY-1","price":8365.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/1220\/7188\/files\/collings-baby-1-front_sq.jpg?v=1792599487","url":"https:\/\/lauzonmusic.com\/products\/collings-baby-1","provider":"Lauzon Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
