Collings DS1

The Collings DS1 provides the power and articulation one expects from Collings, but with a smoother treble and soft overtones thanks to the 12-fret neck’s shifted bridge positioning and slotted headstock. A remarkable guitar that can be flatpicked hard and loud, the DS1’s magic really shows itself when you take your foot off the gas and lighten your touch. It’s a full and sweet sounding guitar with a beguiling mix of harmonic overtones and bold fundamental presence. It gets our vote, for sure.

Twelve fret Dreadnought body with mahogany back and sides and a scalloped-braced Sitka spruce top. Tortoise bindings and pickguard, ebony belly bridge with vintage 2-3/8” string spacing, bone saddle, and ebony pins. The neck features a slotted headstock 25.5” scale, and a nut width of 1-13/16”. Ebony headstock overlay, pearl inlay, and Waverly tuning machines. Set up for medium strings, this guitar is ready for whatever kind of fuel you’re going to give it.

With original hardshell case.
