[Tricone]

For Sale: 2017 Collings Parlor 1 AT (Adirondack/Traditional) Guitar in "minty" condition. Diminutive, but with some surprising oomph . . perfect for couch picking/playing. All the good stuff that Collings' Traditional line, like animal protein glue, bone nut and saddle. Also sports the "top-shelf" Waverly engraved tuners with ebony buttons and the no longer made Collings Traditional case. These parlors are very hard to find on the used market, especially with the adi top. Asking $5500 (plus actual shipping costs). Pics and videos upon request.

Description from website:

Part of Collings Traditional Series, the Parlor 1 T has a full-bodied sound that defies its size. An Adirondack spruce top, Honduran mahogany back, side, and neck constructed with animal protein glue and a high gloss, extra thin nitrocellulose lacquer finish makes this guitar extremely responsive and far from being a relic of the past.

Beautiful instrument!!

Have you had the chance to compare it to a Collings Baby? If yes, would be interested in your take on the two models.

Good luck with the sale!!

Thanks for the well wishes. The only time I played a Baby Collings was probably 15 years ago at a store (Gryphon), and only briefly. No real memories of how it played . . .

I have played a few Babys, a few years back. Very nice.
I played a Parlor without the Adi top the other day. Very nice and loud projection.
I like hog/adi, so I am sure this is a fabulous guitar.
Soooo tempting...
