FS: Collings D3BaaaA

Howdy folks,
I am selling a gorgeous Collings D3BaaaA with quartersawn Brazilian rosewood back and sides, Adirondack spruce top, and 1 3/4” nut width. This was ordered from the factory with ivoroid tuners in place of the normal gold tuners. Tasteful ebony strap button installed per Collings spec by Dick DuBois, formerly of Collings. Bruce Van Wart and I hand-selected the woods in this guitar, built in 2009. This guitar is absolutely fantastic sounding, with warmth, clarity, balance and volume, and playability is excellent.

This guitar has been played sparingly since I mostly play mahogany guitars. It's in excellent to near mint condition, and the only thing I can find on the guitar are some light button rubs on the back that are too faint to photograph. The Forum won't let me attach quality pictures, but I'm happy to email hi-res photos if you're interested. The guitar is located in Austin, Texas, or I'm happy to ship it.

Asking $8500 plus shipping, but since it is difficult to pin down the value of these rare guitars these days, I’ll entertain reasonable offers. With Brazilian rosewood all but gone, it’s hard to find a guitar like this anywhere, and I’m posting it somewhat hesitantly. If you’re interested, contact me before I change my mind. :)

Cheers,
Dennis
