Crafted with uncompromising attention to detail, this Collings acoustic guitar pairs traditional pre-war design elements with modern precision engineering, delivering exceptional clarity, responsiveness, and timeless aesthetic warmth.
Sound & Tonewoods
Top: Premium Sitka Spruce paired with Pre-war Scalloped X-Bracing yields a wide dynamic range, rich harmonics, and massive headroom whether flatpicked or strummed.
Back & Sides:Honduran Mahogany brings crisp mid-range warmth, punchy projection, and balanced resonance across all registers.
Finish:High-gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer on the body lets the wood breathe and age naturally while enhancing its rich acoustic resonance.
Neck & Playability
Neck Profile:Modified V mahogany neck topped with a smooth Ebony fingerboard featuring a versatile 14" - 26" compound radius for seamless playability from open chords to high-register leads.
Nut & Saddle: Genuine Bone Nut (1 11/16") and Drop-in Bone Saddle ensure maximum string vibration transfer and precise intonation.
Scale Length: Standard 25 1/2" scale provides tight, clear bass response and solid string tension.
