$4750 - includes fees and shipping. [/b]
This is a fabulous, one owner (me), 2018 Collings D1 Custom with Natural finish. It is nearly mint. It's been played so - let's call it Excellent +, because it has been played. There is the slightest mark on a couple of frets indicating play but no fret wear. It's cleaner than most guitar-store offerings. Look at the photos for the headstock and neck binding. It adds a bit of elegance that you won't find on most Collings.
It is sweet, loud and articulate and the baked top make it sound like it's 20 years old. It sustains forever. It is lightly built and resonates when you play it. Like most Collings dreads, it handles thumping bluegrass and soft finger-style with ease. It can be ultra-quietly finger-picked or strummed hard and it remains clear and articulate. It is Gorgeous. Ships in a brand new Gator ABS Case.
Custom features are: Baked-Sitka top, 1 3/4" nut, bound headstock (photo), bound fingerboard & Traditional Handmade Case. The neck is straight and set perfectly and the saddle has not been shaved for lower action. I go from soft finger-style to rock classics and it does it all and the factory specs have been perfect. The factory set up is untouched so you can adjust it any way you like. Weighs in at feathery 4.4 pounds.
