A really cool rare build from Collings, probably a one of a kind even, this D-41 Custom features highly figured Sapele (aka African Mahogany) with heavy tight quilt and pommele figuring throughout with a hand picked matching figured Sapele neck paired with an Adirondack Spruce sunburst top with subtle bearclaw figuring along with custom Abalone Pearl 41-style top trim and rosette, Maple full body, fretboard and headstock bindings, Adirondack Spruce pre-war style bracing and more.
Other features include Ebony blank fretboard and bridge, Maple heelcap and wedge, custom Ebony headstock overlay, 3-style multi-color chevron backstrip, Ebony pins with Pearl dots, Waverly Nickel tuners, Bone nut and saddle, tortoise pickguard, 1 11/16″ nut width, 2 3/16″ saddle spacing and more.
The square-shouldered 14-fret dreadnought is the most popular steel-string acoustic guitar body shape in the world. While Collings is far from the only company to build them, they bring a new tonal clarity to the depth and warmth usually associated with such a large, deep-bodied instrument. Although its bass response makes the dreadnought ideal for vocal accompaniment, Collings versions are also often employed by bluegrass flatpickers who must compete with inherently louder instruments, such as banjos and fiddles. The wood combination of Figured Sapele and Adirondack Spruce on this D-41A Custom brings power and balance throughout. Perfect for an accompaniment to singing or stepping out front of the jam on a lead.
