Collings / D1 / 2018 / Natural / Guitar
The Collings D1 is a refreshingly different take on the classic Spruce / Mahogany dreadnought. The use of Sitka Spruce rather than Adirondack gives a warmer, more characterful tone, and the Honduras Mahogany back and sides keep your lead lines clear and distinct. This guitar is incredibly balanced in it’s frequency response, the notes are rich and full all the way up and down the neck. The midrange and high-end sparkle will cut through any studio or on-stage mix with ease, while the lows are balanced, defined, well rounded, and never boomy. The guitar is a great player, with a very comfortable feeling neck. It’s in very good condition, with very little in the way of playwear, although it has a small depression on the lower bout, treble side, which has been internally reinforced. The guitar comes in it’s original deluxe hard case.
Glenns Guitars, UK
Welcome to Glenn's Guitars here on Vintage & Rare. After many years in the industry, and having been fortunate enough to have worked in Hanks and The Acoustic Centre - probably London's two foremost acoustic guitar shops - I decided to do my own thing.
I have a passion for used and vintage acoustic guitars; nearly new second hand guitars because they can represent a bargain compared to the price of a new guitar, older and vintage guitars because they tend to have more character and can often become an investment.
You will notice when viewing my stock list my taste in guitars, as I only sell guitars that I genuinely like - and there are certain brands noticeable by their absence. I am a huge fan of older Gibson, Martin and Guild acoustics, but also more boutique brands such as Lowden and Collings.
I will consider part exchange if it makes your desired guitar a little easier to afford. I also offer a guitar finding service, if there's something specific you're looking for.
If you are happy to buy over the internet, I will send you as many high resolution photos and as much information about the guitar you're interested in as I can. If you can get to me - I'm based in Enfield, only 30 minutes from London Liverpool Street Station - you can always make an appointment with me and come and try some of the guitars out first.
I accept payment by Paypal, bank transfer, cheque and of course cash.
