Collings – German Spruce / Adirondack Bracing

No-Tongue Bracing – Macassar Ebony Headplate

Discontinued Original Collings Case Included

Up for sale is a beautifully appointed, premium-spec Collings featuring a highly desirable combination of tonewoods and structural upgrades.

This example includes:

German Spruce top

Adirondack spruce bracing

No-Tongue bracing construction

East Indian Rosewood back & sides

Mahogany neck

Ebony fingerboard & bridge

Macassar Ebony headplate

Bone nut & saddle

One of the standout structural features is the No-Tongue bracing, which removes the traditional fingerboard tongue brace extension and allows for increased top responsiveness and openness. Combined with the German spruce and Adirondack bracing, this guitar offers exceptional dynamic range, clarity, and headroom.

Tone:

Powerful yet refined. Deep piano-like low end, focused mids, and shimmering highs with outstanding articulation. The responsiveness and projection are immediately noticeable. It has the balance and precision Collings is known for, with added openness from the no-tongue construction.

Condition:

Excellent overall condition

No cracks, structural issues, or repairs

Neck is straight, truss rod functions properly

Frets show minimal wear

Included is the original Collings hard case (now discontinued style), which is becoming increasingly difficult to find.

Everything remains original.

This is not a standard production spec — it is a thoughtfully upgraded Collings with premium appointments and structural refinement.
