Tenor 1

Overview

Tenor 1The Tenor 1 features our own variation of the traditional "0" body dimension that provides exceptional projection, warmth, and clarity. The tenor's slim "V" profile neck is also well suited to anyone seeking an alternative to the wide fingerboards of standard guitars. Hand crafted to the exacting standards that have earned Collings worldwide renown, the Collings tenor is among the finest examples of this instrument available today.
