Collings D1A Adirondack and Mahogany with Cutthrough Saddle ID-8757

Collings D1A Adirondack and Mahogany

From the Collings website, "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, we 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. The wide range of woods and neck sizes offered allow dreadnought fans to find a Collings model ideally suited to their playing style and tonal preference." Beyond this brief introduction, the Collings D1A embodies the bold note definition that makes up the distinctive voicing found in all Collings guitars... A top voicing that was developed over the span of their 40 year history, passing the milestone of just 20,000 handcrafted guitars in 2014.

Built with their premium Adirondack top & wide nut options, if you need to be 'heard' in your acoustic circle, this D1A will become the most popular tool in your toolbox. We added the cut-through saddle for an authentic vibe.
