Collings D1A Traditional
The Traditional or "T" Series of guitars reflect Collings' return to his guitar making roots and offer a new tonal variation on the distinctive Collings sound. Each T Series guitar is built using animal protein glue and a very thin all-nitrocellulose lacquer finish on the body, making them exceptionally dynamic and responsive. Bracing and tone woods are adjusted for weight and thickness to create a voicing characterized by warm rounded highs and a present low midrange, while retaining a quick attack and strong projection. The T Series models also feature a new Traditional neck profile based on Collings' popular Vintage Now neck, but with a slightly more tapered carve and rolled fingerboard edges.
The Custom Adirondack Spruce top provides virtually unlimited headroom, perfect for a heavy hand or anyone looking to acoustically cut through a band or mix! Combined with this beautiful set of mahogany, this dreadnought comes off sounding punchy, dry, but with a commanding presence!
Collings really knocked it out of the park with this dreadnought, a perfect strummer and articulate fingerpicking guitar with a ton of headroom; all while sounding like a vintage pre war guitar that we're always looking for!
