Here's a brand new Collings D2H. Nobody makes a more powerful dread than Collings does. I'll let Collings describe it: "The square-shouldered 14-fret dreadnought is the most popular steel-string acoustic guitar body shape in the world. While Collings is certainly not the only company to build them, we bring a new tonal clarity to the [...]
Here is a brand new Collings 470 JL Julian Lage signature model, in a lightly aged antiqued blonde finish. The guitar is a true hollowbody with trestle block construction, with a thin nitrocellulose lacquer hand-rubbed to a gently worn patina (no dings or dents). Pickups are Ron Ellis Ellisonic, and a Bigsby vibrato completes the [...]
If I had to choose one acoustic guitar, it would be a 14-fret 00 ... plenty of volume and low end, but small enough to be comfortable on the couch and on the stage. Here is a beautiful example of Collings' take on it. Nitro finish, short scale, with a bone nut, pre-war scalloped X [...]
Here's a new Collings OM1 Julian Lage signature model, hide glue, ebony bridge and fingerboard, bone saddle, relic Waverly tunes with vintage oval buttons. I'll let Collings describe it: When Bill Collings first met the brilliant young jazz musician Julian Lage, in 2014, the two began a series of in-depth conversations about their respective crafts. [...]
Here's a new Collings I-35 LC Vintage in aged jet black. I’ve been lucky enough to play some very fine electric guitars, but in my mind there isn’t a finer semi-hollow guitar out there than the Collings I-35. And now they've made it even better: Collings sez: "After several years in development and numerous prototype [...]
Collings builds monster dreads, and their venerable D1 paired with an Adirondack top has always been at the top of my list. Handsome and understated tortoise binding sets off this good looking red spruce top, while the pre-war scalloped bracing, ebony fretboard and an ebony belly bridge give it Collings’ typical impressive volume and projection, [...]
Collings' OM2H has long been a favorite of mine; herringbone trim and a gorgeous set of east Indian rosewood. Responsive, great projection and the usual impeccable Collings build. Lifetime warranty and hardshell case. I'll let Collings describe it: OM' stands for "Orchestra Model," but 80 years after this body shape was first designed it has become the most popular 14-fret model with fingerstyle guitar soloists who choose to play on steel strings. Yet flatpickers also find it appealing. The compact shape makes the Collings OM equally easy to handle onstage or when [...]
Here's a lightly played and like new 2019 Collings 290 DC in their 1959 crimson finish. This is a dual cutaway example with a handwound Lollar P-90 soapbar pickups, volume and tone control. Pure rock and roll. Collings calls this guitar a modern-day tribute to the original workingman’s rock ‘n roll guitar. You’ll just call [...]
Here's a like-new 2017 Collings I-35 LC Deluxe in a sweet tobacco sunburst finish. This one was upgraded with parallelogram inlays. I’ve been lucky enough to play some very fine electric guitars, but in my mind there isn’t a finer semi-hollow guitar out there than the Collings I-35. The I-35 LC uses high quality laminate [...]
Gently used and dead mint Collings 12-fret 02H. If I didn't tell you it was preowned, you'd never guess. Fantastic guitar. If there’s a better couch guitar than a Collings single 0, I haven’t come across it. With Collings’ typical terrific projection and great volume, this guitar will amaze you with its voice. 12 frets, [...]
