Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
Oh yeah! Nothing terribly fancy or esoteric here, but this dread is -just right-. We opted for a Baked top and 1 3/4" nut (2 5/16" saddle) to appease both the players and the peekers out there--quite comfy on the eyes, ears, and hands! With a warm, woody voice that brings to mind the heritage of US guitarmaking with the clear, keen vision of its future, this is just a solid 10 in a world of 8.5s.
SP Luthier Notes: Fret Dress
From Collings Guitars
Our Traditional Series or "T-Series” guitars represent an exciting vintage-inspired tonal variation on the distinctive Collings sound, designed and crafted to showcase the most desirable characteristics present in coveted pre-war instruments. Bracing and tone woods are adjusted for weight and thickness to create a voicing characterized by warm, rounded highs and a present low midrange, while retaining a quick attack and strong projection.
