Pre Owned 2010 Collings D1A Varnish Adirondack and Mahogany ID-8630
SKU-8630
Sold Out $4,799.00
The Adirondack Spruce drives the top of this guitar and provides ample power and headroom for heavy handed flatpickers while the fast response of the varnish provides a much better fingerstyle experience as opposed to lacquer.
Each and every time we have a D1A in the shop with a hand-rubbed varnish finish, it is time and time again one of our favorite guitars in the shop. This is a highly customized version featuring many of our favorite upgrades along with master grade Adirondack Spruce and Mahogany, brought to life by the masterful builders at Collings!
Thinner than nitrocellulose lacquer, the varnish finish is more flexible and allows the wood to resonate more, significantly smoothing out the mids and highs of the Mahogany and Adirondack, while enhancing the low end and warming the highs considerably. For the die hard rosewood fans here in the shop, this guitar bridges the gap between rosewood and mahogany, projecting incredibly articulate note definition common with mahogany and the power and low end associated with rosewood.
This gorgeous Collings D1A has been customized with a varnish finish, Adirondack top, Tortoise bound fretboard and peghead, no fretboard markers and a custom string spacing of 2 1/4", like the CW.
This Pre Owned 2010 Collings D1A Varnish Adirondack and Mahogany is in excellent + condition with only one small surface scratch. It has very minor fretwear and includes the original hardshell case.
