Pre Owned 2014 Collings D1 Sitka Spruce and Mahogany ID-8029
Pre Owned 2014 Collings D1 Sitka Spruce and Mahogany
This guitar is also incredibly balanced in it's frequency response. Notes are rich and full all the way up and down the neck. The midrange and high-end sparkle will cut through any studio or on-stage mix with ease. The lows are balanced, defined, well rounded, and never boomy. The top end is sweet and crisp; with a driving, focused midrange and low-end, additionally, it strums with the best of them, but has a neck that flatpicks beautifully across the board. The Collings D1 brings detailed clarity to the depth and warmth associated with large, deep-bodied dreadnought guitars. The bass response makes the dreadnought ideal for vocal accompaniment, however, Collings D1 Series Mahogany dreads are employed by some of the busiest bluegrass flatpickers in the business, such as Andy Falco of the Stringdusters and Adam Aijala of Yonder Mountain String Band.
This Collings D1 features a Sitka Spruce top. Sitka is ideal for players who find Adirondack Red Spruce too punchy, bright, and stiff - but do not want to sacrifice on clarity. Sitka Spruce is a versatile topwood that accentuates the warm round aspects of the guitar's tone.
The Mahogany back and sides keep your lead lines clear and distinct, just like the classic flatpicking recordings we've grown to love from players like Clarence White, Doc Watson, and Norman Blake.
This Pre Owned 2014 Collings D1 Sitka Spruce and Mahogany is in excellent + condition with only a 1 minor dent on the top and a barely visible scratch on the peghead which we have attempted to capture in the detailed photos below. It has minor fretwear and includes the original hardeshell case.
