Description

Brand new Collings D1A "Traditional" - likely the best boutique dread money can buy - this time in Collings' Vintage Satin finish! Warm, dry and woody, this dreadnought is surprisingly lightweight. Collings has long been known for its singing treble register, but this guitar has the best elements of a woody, resonant old D-18 high up the fretboard, with a little extra boost of warmth achieved through the light satin finish. If you've been waiting for a special Collings D1A, you'll want to pounce on this one. Priced with TKL hardshell case.
