{"product_id":"collings-d1-custom","title":"Collings Acoustic Guitars - D1 Custom","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis brand new \u003cstrong\u003eCollings D1 Custom\u003c\/strong\u003e is an outstanding example of the Austin-based company's desire to build impeccable instruments that will last a lifetime. This is a square-shouldered dreadnought, arguably the most popular steel-string acoustic in the world, and one that's been tweaked by its makers to not only sound great for vocal accompaniment thanks to its clear bass response, but is also employed by bluegrass flatpickers in order to compete with naturally louder instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade here with a select Sitka Spruce top, Mahogany back, sides and neck, and an Ebony fingerboard, we've customized it by having the tongue brace removed, which can allow for more top vibration and give it a subtly more open tone overall. In addition to its Modified V neck profile and 25 1\/2\" scale length, we also gave it a slightly wider 1 3\/4\" nut width, so you have a real nice and dynamic player through and through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt also has an Ebony belly-style bridge, a bone drop-in saddle with 2 3\/16\" string spacing, Adirondack pre-war scalloped bracing, and many high-end appointments: tortoise-style top and back binding, black\/white top purfling, a 1-style Walnut backstrip, mother-of-pearl microdot inlays, and a tortoise-style pickguard. A genuinely amazing guitar, we at MSM were lucky enough to get not just one, but two of these \u003cstrong\u003eCollings D1 Custom\u003c\/strong\u003e dreads.
