Collings

Upgraded with Adirondack Spruce braces.
The square-shouldered 14-fret dreadnought is the most popular steel-string acoustic guitar body shape in the world. While Collings is certainly not the only company to build them, they bring a new tonal clarity to the depth and warmth usually associated with such a large, deep-bodied guitar. Although its bass response makes the dreadnought ideal for vocal accompaniment, Collings versions are also often employed by bluegrass flatpickers who must compete with inherently louder instruments such as banjos and fiddles.

This upgraded Collings D1 features a Torrefied Sitka spruce top for enhanced warmth and responsiveness, a 1-3/4" nut for comfortable fingerstyle or flatpicking, and a beautiful Western Shaded top, with Ivoroid Binding for vintage-inspired looks. Classic Collings tone with premium upgrades. Powerful, clear, and beautifully built in Austin, TX.
