This Pre owned D1 from Collings is a beautiful example of the Spruce/Mahogany Dreadnought that has been well played, but well looked after. With a few marks and knocks that are purely cosmetic. It is a wonderful player and is incredibly well balanced and touch sensitive. A wonderful instrument from one of our favourite builders. It comes with the Collings Fitted case.
D1The 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, we bring a new tonal clarity to the depth and warmth usually 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.
