We originally sold this guitar as new over ten years ago now, and it's only gotten better with age. Featuring a gorgeous set of Madagascar rosewood back sides, paired with an Adirondack spruce top, wrapped in a varnish finish, this dreadnought has that warm low-end sound with the sort of high-end hot-rod tone that made Collings famous. Over the years this varnish finish has cured and aged gracefully, settling into the tone woods making for a resonant and dynamic guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth the Varnish and Madagascar are currently unavailable as new options from Collings making this a rather rare bird in the history of Collings models. The 42-style binding, torch headstock inlay, and 45-style snowflake inlays makes this a standout guitar from an appointments point of view as well. The abalone binding, ivoroid purfling and varnish finish mesh well together, delivering a vintage look for such a modern guitar. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere in Excellent condition there is faint swirling to the pickguard, along with a handful of minor finish dents to the top and minor back scratches (see photos for examples).
