Collings D1 SB

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 D1 is among the best sounding guitars being made today. Bold, warm and powerful, it 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.

While we've already gone on about our love for Collings’ builds, we also have to take a moment to praise the company for their absolutely gorgeous sunburst finishes, which are undeniably some of the most attractive in the business. The D1 SB is one of the most aesthetically pleasing mahogany dreadnoughts available today.

This standard 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.

With deluxe hardshell case.
