Collings D1 ‘Natural’ Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar PRE-ORDER

PRE-ORDER - This stunning Collings guitar is due to land in December 2026. Don't miss your chance to experience one of the greatest builders of all time!

The Collings D1 is a square-shouldered 14-fret dreadnought built with the clarity, balance, and craftsmanship for which Collings is known. The dreadnought is the most popular steel-string body shape in the world, and Collings brings a new tonal clarity to the depth and warmth that usually comes with such a large, deep-bodied guitar. A Sitka spruce top over Honduran mahogany back and sides delivers the classic Collings voice, with shimmery highs, a punchy midrange, a tight, clean low end, and maximum headroom with a quick, responsive attack. Ideal for vocal accompaniment, strummers, and bluegrass flatpickers who need a guitar that cuts through the loudest jam.

Pre-war scalloped X-bracing and a hand-fit mortise and tenon hybrid neck joint keep the guitar lively and stable, while a Honduran mahogany Modified V neck with a 1-11/16" nut makes it a pleasure to play. Tortoise binding with black/white/black/white top purfling, a walnut backstrip, an ebony fingerboard with mother-of-pearl long dots, and nickel Waverly tuners give the D1 a handsome, understated look beneath a high gloss nitrocellulose finish. Supplied in a Collings deluxe hardshell case.
