One of my all-time favorite guitars with a torrefied Adirondack top and high-grade mahogany back and sides. I hope that not too many more years go by before I feel justified in having a Collings such as this one. Collings guitars are viewed by many as the cream of the crop. But it’s a competitive world and there are other small (boutique) builders that rival Collings’s best work. Whenever possible, I believe in spending my money locally, and the Collings facility is in Austin, just forty-five minutes from my country home in Central Texas.
There are some jaw-droppingly gorgeous photos of the D-1 AT on the other side of this link.
