Collings D1A Adirondack & Honduran Mahogany

Recently Setup , regulated and frets levelled & polished for a perfectly playing guitar -
Strung with Elixir 13-56 Phosphor Bronze Strings

The square-shouldered 14-fret dreadnought is the most popular steel-string acoustic guitar body shape in the world. While Collings is certainly not the only company to build them, they bring a new tonal clarity to the depth and warmth usually not associated with such a large, deep-bodied guitar.

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. The wide range of woods and neck sizes offered allow dreadnought fans to find a Collings model ideally suited to their playing style and tonal preference.

The Collings D1A is made with Adirondack spruce instead of Sitka spruce and is therefore a bluegrass machine. Adirondack spruce has more headroom, is more dynamic and clear than Sitka, and projects like a canon.

This pre-war like setup gives the instrument even more headroom over the entire tonal spectrum, impressive to behold and empowering to play.
