Wow, a 25-year old Collings D1A! It's exciting to have these older Collings come through the shop and see how they've aged. Like all fine guitars, they begin to mellow and loosen up. This D1A still exhibits that classic Collings focus and clarity but the overall voice has taken on a woodier quality. That new, strident tone now has a softer, rounder edge. And like all of us who find ourselves 25 years older, we've hopefully stopped stressing about how we look on the outside and focus more on our internal qualities. In other words, who cares about dings, scratches, wrinkles and smile lines:-) (We're happy to give this one a Botox injection if necessary.)
