Product information

No sound sample we could provide would encapsulate the true joy of playing this guitar.

A style-42 Collings Traditional guitar is a rare bird indeed; and we do love the way they look with an optional Sunburst finish! The abalone top purfling really pops in contrast to the blackened edges of the 'burst; and the extra-thin, high-gloss finish makes the guitar sparkle from across the room. No sound sample we could provide would encapsulate the true joy of playing this guitar: it's explosive and powerful, with grand-piano shimmer and fantastic openness of voice.

After nearly two years in build, we're happy to have this guitar in the shop. And if you're looking for a rare & wonderful-sounding Collings dreadnought to front your stable, look no further. Priced with hardshell case.
