Actual Photos of Guitar

Serial # 35923

The D1 Traditional reflects Bill Collings' return to his guitar making roots and offers 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, 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 Traditional D1 comes with a handmade lightweight Collings case designed and built in the Collings shop. The pairing of the Traditional D1 dreadnought and handmade case makes for a combination of old world aesthetic and quality that is unprecedented among instruments available today. The best just got better!
