Collings Baby 1 Small Body Acoustic Guitar

Premium Craftsmanship in a Compact Form

The Collings Baby 1 is a beautifully constructed small-body acoustic guitar that delivers a full sound despite its compact size. With a solid Sitka spruce top, Honduran mahogany back and sides, and high-quality appointments throughout, it offers professional tone and build in a travel-friendly format.

Sound & Design
