Condition: Used, Very Good

SP Luthier Notes: The bridge was reglued into place. Frets that couldn’t be restored were replaced with spec-accurate fretwire, then leveled, re-crowned, and polished for a uniform result. The fret ends were smoothed and polished. All frets were leveled, re-crowned, and polished. No further work was required. 

The Collings C10 Mh SS is a beautifully focused, small-body acoustic that delivers remarkable depth and clarity from an all-mahogany build. Its Honduran mahogany top, back, and sides create a warm, woody voice with strong fundamentals and a smooth, articulate response that shines for fingerstyle and nuanced strumming. Pre-war scalloped bracing adds liveliness and dynamic sensitivity, while the comfortable C-shaped neck and ebony fingerboard feel refined and inviting. Finished in high-gloss nitro with elegant ivoroid trim and premium Waverly tuners, this C10 is an heirloom-quality investment—expertly crafted to mature gracefully and inspire for decades.

Based on guitars first introduced around the same time as the OM, the Collings C10 is a leaner alternative with the narrow waist and small upper bout resulting in a precise, focused response. Of all our 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.
