D2HA 2002 Old Standard Custom Adirondack Collings

Old Standard Adirondack Collaboration with Bill Collings and John Griffin make this a custom unique Guitar. Old Standard is the supplier of the best Adirondack wood for many top Luthiers.

John kept the best of the best for his private reserve collection. In 2001 John/bill teamed up to make a run of Custom Guitar with his Adirondack Supply. Signed by Bill Collings.

Very loud with strong Bass and great trebles. A real Cannon of a guitar. Well taken care of; I tried to capture the pictures but there is string winder marks, a few pin sized marks very hard to pick up on the camera, it is 21 years old and has open up nicely.

Tightest grained Adirondack I have ever seen and great Medullary Rays. Original case with a broken clasp. All Original, no cracks, no issues, no smoking, no pets. Has been properly taken care of all of its life. Selling because I have too many hobbies and trying to save up for a family vacation. You will love this guitar.

Price $4800

Beautiful rosewood and a very fine top! I've looked in on OSW's site many times and admired their offerings. Yours must be very special. Good luck with your sale!
