Sound Pure's Take
The very latest and, we think, the very greatest from Collings' superlative Traditional series line! And why? Presenting their latest addition to the already quite comprehensive list of vintage specs: Satin Nitro Lacquer finish! Lowering the guitar's weight makes for a more explosive instrument and this couldn't be a better example of that. The Adirondack top already adds horsepower but, believe us, when you start to lay into this thing you may startle any small creatures, children, or, most importantly, banjo players, in the area. You just don't hear new guitars sound this good this often--don't miss this one!
From Collings Guitars
The Traditional or "T" Series guitars reflect Bill Collings' return to his guitar making roots and offer a new tonal variation on the distinctive Collings sound. Each T Series guitar is built using animal protein glue and a very thin all nitrocellulose lacquer finish on the body, making them exceptionally dynamic and responsive. 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. Each Traditional series guitar will come with a handmade lightweight Collings case designed and built in the Collings shop. The pairing of these new Traditional guitars and cases makes for a combination of old world quality and aesthetic that is unprecedented among instruments available today.
