Collings D1 A Adirondack Acoustic Guitar – New

The square-shouldered 14-fret dreadnought is the most popular steel-string acoustic guitar body shape in the world. While Collings is far from the only company to build them, they bring a new tonal clarity to the depth and warmth usually associated with such a large, deep-bodied instrument. 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. For this model, we opted to go with the Adirondack Spruce top. We have always loved the loud, punchy quality of this tone wood; its perfect for players with a strong right hand that are looking for more headroom than is typically found on a sitka model.
