Used Collings D1A - Adirondack Spruce / Mahogany - sunburst - w/hsc - $3400 Price
Collings guitars are some of the finest around. They specialize in bluegrass/folk style instruments but have expanded their production line to electric guitars and some of the finest archtop guitars we have seen. They have been in business since 1986, however, Bill Collings has been doing repairs and custom building since 1973.
This is a standard sized Dreadnought model guitar with a Adirondack spruce top and Mahogany back and sides. It has an Ebony bridge, an ebony fingerboard, a compensated bone saddle, a bone nut, Waverly open back tuners, an ebony overlay on the headstock, a sunburst finish, and a tortoise pickguard. It has prewar style scalloped bracing, herringbone binding, and dot inlays on the fingerboard. The scale length is 25.5" and the nut width is 1 3/4".
This is a great Dreadnought style guitar in excellent condition. It has a couple of very small dings in the top, but they are only noticeable in certain light. It plays well and, like all Collings guitars, it has some of the best clear tones we have found in acoustic instruments. These instruments fit any scenario and are some of our most sought after guitars. If you have never tried a Collings please stop in and treat yourself, they sound wonderful, look wonderful and are suited to making great music.
