FROM COLLINGS:

Collings Traditional Series acoustic guitars feature a vintage-inspired build that delivers a "broken-in" tone right from the factory. These instruments emphasize rounder highs, fuller low mids, and a looser feel compared to standard Collings models.

The series uses lighter, stiffer woods like Sitka or Adirondack spruce tops (often torrefied for maturity) paired with backs and sides of Honduran mahogany, East Indian rosewood, or similar. Custom scalloped X-bracing with an abbreviated tongue brace, a smaller bridge plate, and animal protein glue enhance openness, projection, and a mature resonance that improves over time. An ultra-thin nitrocellulose lacquer finish—without modern sealers—allows the top to vibrate freely for dynamic response.

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:

We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage guitars as accurately as possible in our listings.  Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so.  We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument.  Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing. 

We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear.  If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us to ask any questions you may have.  Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
