This new Collings D1 VN is a responsive sounding dreadnought with a few custom features. Here with a Sitka Spruce top, and Mahogany back and sides, both of which are absolutely gorgeous sets of wood, this D1 sports that big, dynamic Collings sounds that we love. It's been constructed without a tongue brace, reminiscent of our favorite vintage guitars, allowing the top to move that much more freely. The neck has also been upgraded to the Collings "Vintage Now" spec, which delivers a comfortable 1 3/4" nut width and 2 5/16" string spacing, making it great for flatpicking fiddle tunes, or strumming out Country Western tunes.A fantastic example of a 14-fret dreadnought, this D1 VN includes a free setup from our team of luthiers and a Collings TKL hardshell case. 14-Fret Dreadnought with High Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer finish and Tortoise-style binding Pre-War Scalloped bracing with no tongue brace Sitka Spruce top with Tortoise-style pickguard Mahogany back and sides with 1-style Walnut backstrip 25 1/2" scale length Mahogany neck with Vintage Now profile Ebony fingerboard with 20 Medium 18% nickel-silver frets and Mother-of-Pearl microdot inlays 1 3/4" nut width, bone Bone drop-in saddle with 2 5/16" string spacing Ebony belly-style bridge Nickel Waverly tuners with 16:1 ratio Collings TKL Hardshell case included Serial# 33727 .
