Collings C10 SB Sunburst Acoustic Guitar

The Collings C10 is a distinctive small-body acoustic inspired by early 20th-century designs, offering a precise, focused voice and a refined silhouette that stands apart from traditional compact acoustics. With its narrow waist, small upper bout, and asymmetrical headstock lines echoed in the curvilinear pickguard, the C10 delivers vintage character with Collings’ trademark clarity, articulation, and responsiveness.

Thanks to its comfortable neck profile and rounded heel, the C10 is often the most natural Collings acoustic for electric guitarists transitioning to steel-string acoustic work. Its compact size lends itself equally well to singer-songwriters, fingerstylists, and players seeking a punchy, mid-forward response with exceptional note separation.

Built with a Sitka Spruce top and Honduran Mahogany back and sides, this model offers a warm, balanced low end, clear trebles, and a dynamic, immediate attack. Pre-war scalloped X-bracing enhances projection and sensitivity, making the C10 impressively loud for its size.
