Another gem from our consignment collection. Very nice Collings D1A Mahogany / Adirondack Dreadnought with LR Baggs pick-up. c.2015. This one was well cared for, always properly humidified. Very light playwear. And it has aged well. Frets, action, neck angle are spot on. And it’s a boomer. Varnish finish not offered by Collings anymore. Strong sustain, good note separation, and long ringing notes.
The D1A delivers a powerful, focused tone with a warm, woody character and rich low end, while maintaining quick responsiveness, strong projection, and excellent clarity. Crafted with Honduran mahogany back and sides paired with an Adirondack spruce top.
The square-shouldered 14-fret dreadnought remains the world’s most popular body style for steel-string acoustic guitars. Though many builders craft this design, Collings brings exceptional tonal clarity to the deep, warm sound typically associated with larger-bodied instruments. Its powerful bass response makes it a favorite for vocal accompaniment, while its volume and projection also appeal to bluegrass flatpickers who need to cut through alongside banjos and fiddles.
