It’s no secret that Collings builds great guitars, but what might be a secret is that it’s very hard to build a new mahogany Dreadnought that sounds full, balanced, well defined, and is evenly strong across its strings. Collings has got it down to a science, though, and their standard model Collings D1 is among the best sounding guitars being made today. It’s bold, warm and powerful, and offers full-bodied trebles and a strong mid-range that compliment a Dreadnoughts low-end beautifully. Expect a guitar with loads of headroom, excellent fundamental presence and clarity, and an incredible response with very little sag. The D1 is both a wonderful flat-picker and melodic strummer.
The standard model Collings D1 features a Sitka spruce top with scalloped X bracing, mahogany back and sides, mahogany neck with ebony fretboard and headstock overlay, tortoise-celluloid binding and pickguard, and a gloss lacquer finish. Comfortable modified V neck carve, 1-11/16” nut width, 2-3/16” string spread at the saddle, and 25.5” scale. Waverly tuning machines, high-gloss bone nut and compensated saddle, and ebony pins. Slightly taller fretwire and a compound radius fretboard add to the guitar’s exceptional playability.

About this Collings OM2H Traditional
The OM2H Traditional is an incredible sounding OM, certainly ranking among the best modern OMs that we’ve played. We’re big fans of most any Collings OM, but the OM2H-T offers players more headroom, bass response, and aged-in tone than the standard model; and throws in a vintage-feeling neck with a 1930’s feel and string spread, and gorgeous looks, of course.
Sitka spruce top with a pre-War styled scalloped X brace pattern, Indian rosewood back and sides, wooden purflings and rosette, and an extra-thin lacquer finish. Ivoroid body bindings, through-cut bridge saddle finish off the vintage-inspired looks nicely.
The Traditional series neck carve feels lovely; it’s neither too big or too small, and features a well-rounded slightly V-shaped carve with a nut width of 1-3/4, first fret depth of .825”, and a bridge pin spacing of 2-5/16. The scale length measures 25.5”.
The OM2H-T is a responsive and dynamic guitar, with wonderfully rounded trebles, supportive and present mid-range, and all the volume and projection we’ve become familiar with from a Collings OM.

The Windsor Company of Birmingham, England was the UK’s largest stringed instrument manufacturer prior to 1940, when their factory was destroyed by German air strikes. They made banjos of all kinds and sizes; and the Paramount Supremus was one of their highest-tier instruments. Original 5 string versions of any 1930’s era banjo are hard to come by at best, which makes this Windsor Paramount Supremus Banjo even more of an interesting find. You’ll notice that there is no 5th string peg on the side of the neck, as was the norm with US-built instruments. Rather, the 5th string tuner is located at the center of the peghead, and the string passes under the fingerboard through a brass tube that exits behind the 5th string nut at the 5th fret. Very cool, and perfectly functional.
The Windsor Paramount Supremus Banjo features 4 slightly newer planetary tuners, and one original ‘Pancake’ tuner on the 5th string. Ebony fingerboard with nicely cut pearl inlays, excellent modern frets, 27.25″ scale, 1-5/32″ nut. Walnut neck and dowel stick; spun-over beech rim with 28 brackets; raised hoop arch-top tone ring; walnut resonator. Nickel plated brass flange, brackets, and heavy weight notched tension hoop. Finely engraved Pyxe tailpiece. And all of it is in perfect working order!
A fine sounding 5 string, but nothing like a Gibson. It’s warmly toned, and has a wide complement of overtones. A very rich sounding instrument — with a voice that falls somewhere in between a Mastertone and a Vega Little Wonder!

Among the very first Electric Spanish guitars ever made is the National Electro Spanish. It was released in April of 1935, a year and a half ahead of Gibson’s ES-150 (Charlie Christian Model). National, Rickenbacker, Gibson, and a few others were racing to get electric guitars to market, and there was an incredibly fast evolution in electric guitar and amp designs in the mid to late 1930s.
This National Electro Spanish is of the original variation, with output jack and volume control positioned on the guitar’s top adjacent to the tailpiece. The guitar’s body and neck were built by Regal, with National adding the electronics and hardware. The body is of laminated maple and arched spruce and features the single-layer binding and two tone reddish sunburst typical of Chicago-built guitars of the mid ‘30s. The blade-style pickup is encased in an airplane-esque housing that’s located close to the bridge and there is structural support through the body that was specifically designed into the guitar’s build for support. The pickup has strong output thanks to its early design and huge magnets, and its tone is both bassy and bright thanks to its high output and its location close to the bridge. The wiring is original and there is no string ground, but that’s an easy mod. The guitar sounds great in that raw bluesy small-amp overdriven kind of way.
The guitar has seen repairs over its 90 years on earth. The neck has been reset, there’s a repaired crack through the neck heel, and the body binding has been reglued and spliced over parts of its length. The finish is completely original but heavily worn and flaked off in areas, and the original tuning machines appear to have been off and on a few times. All that said, the guitar functions properly, although its original frets are a bit tired.
The neck has a V carve and a nutwidth of 1-13/16”. Neck depth at the 1st fret is .93” and the scale length is 25.3”. The pickup DC value is 15k.

There aren’t too many guitars from the late 1940s that look as good as this high-end Epiphone Zephyr Deluxe archtop. With one glance at this beauty, we’re pretty sure you’ll agree. From its gold Frequensator tailpiece to its curvaceous multiple-bound celluloid pick guard, cloud fingerboard inlays, pearl fern headstock inlay and gold Epi tuners, this guitar just exudes coolness. Figured maple back and sides, spruce top, all laminate construction, five ply neck, highly figured multiple bound Brazilian rosewood fingerboard, single Tone-Spectrum pickup with replaced low-profile pole pieces and Mastervoicer tone control. Large 17-3/8″ wide body with multi-layer binding and unbound f-holes.
A completely original guitar, including its hardshell case. Neck and frets are in good shape and show less than average playwear. Exceptionally comfortable neck with a medium-deep, round carve and rolled edges, 25.5” scale and 1-11/16” nut width. First fret neck depth measures .924”, 9th fret depth is 1.040”. In excellent condition overall, with waist-sections of binding that have been expertly reseated and cleanly spliced at the guitar’s bottom. Excellent playability and recent in-shop set up and bridge fit, this Epiphone Zephyr Deluxe plays and sounds as good as it looks.
