The Traditional or “T” Series guitars reflect the late Bill Collings’ return to his guitar making roots offering a new tonal variation on the distinctive Collings sound, designed and crafted to showcase the most desirable characteristics present in coveted pre-war instruments. Bracing and tone woods are adjusted for weight and thickness to create a voicing characterized by warm, rounded highs and a warm, present low end and midrange, while retaining a quick attack and strong projection.
This 2022 pre-owned good condition traditional D2HA dreadnought features an Adirondack Spruce sunburst top paired with Indian Rosewood back and sides, Ivoroid bindings and 1 3/4″ nut. It is in good players condition with some signs of playing wear including 3 inch scratch on the top lower bout bass side, top dings throughout, ding on the side lower bout treble side, scuffs and dings on the back, some dings on the headstock etc. Most are not glaring but can be seen upon closer inspection and are hard to see in the standard photos. See close ups for more detail. None of these are structural issues, the guitar is in overall good solid playing condition. It has been living the life that it should, that of a played guitar. It has an LR Baggs Lyric pickup and a strap button in the heel of the neck properly installed as well. If you are looking for a good road worthy workhorse D2HA T that is perfect for stage, studio or home, one you won’t be worried about putting a ding in it, this is it.
The traditional nitrocellulose thin gloss finish is sanded to an even thinner thickness than their standard models, allowing the natural qualities of the tone woods to shine. Collings’ traditional neck profile adds a more distinct neck taper and rounded fingerboard edges for a played in feel. Traditional vintage appointments like amber lacquer toner, unique wood purflings, rosette, bridge pins, pre-war bracing with traditional voicing and no tongue brace, add classic appointments to match the vintage tone.
