00- 12 fret - Collings red-headed stepchild?

[Haasome]

I thought i'd make a sonic point. "These 00 models really have a big sound for a little box" (Haasome). Mandolins and small and capable of volume....so are fiddles. There is a common misconception that a dreadnaught is the king of guitars.... but think pick-up truck vs sportscar..... a dreadnaught offers a different timbre than a 00.....but volume is not related to body size. I'll commit Collings sacrilege by posting a video of Bryan Sutton playing a 1935 0-18.

But I said “big sound” not more volume. My experience has been that not all small bodied guitars provide a big full sound. I didn’t mean to misrepresent. I was comparing it to other smaller guitars I’ve played that just don’t pull it off — think “boxy”.

Yes, Right you are Paul, some small ones (especially heavily built '50s) are boxy. The cherry might be the '30s Gibson L-00s....
