Used Collings D1AT Traditional Series Acoustic Guitar - Natural

Collings D1AT Traditional Series Acoustic Guitar - Natural

The Collings D1AT Traditional Series Dreadnought is a powerhouse acoustic built for players who crave the legendary tone of vintage, pre-war guitars. This dreadnought is crafted with an Adirondack Spruce top, known for its stiffness and high velocity of sound, which enables a clear, ringing, and complex tone that holds together beautifully even when driven hard. Paired with Honduran Mahogany back and sides, the guitar delivers a strong, focused fundamental voice with a powerful, rich low-end and warm, rounded highs.

Collings' "Traditional" voicing and construction—including hide glue and an extra-thin nitrocellulose lacquer finish—work in harmony with these premium tone woods to produce a sound characterized by a full, rich low midrange and quick attack. The resulting "bluegrass cannon" tone is perfect for flat-picking and provides tons of volume and headroom to cut through any jam session, while still remaining highly responsive to a lighter touch. This model is designed to embody the openness and played-in feel of the most sought-after vintage instruments, making it an exceptional choice for the discerning acoustic player.
