The Collings D-42A T in Adirondack Spruce and Indian Rosewood stands as a triumphant expression of the company’s Traditional Series philosophy, where vintage voicing, rigorous craftsmanship and elegant ornamentation meet in perfect equilibrium. This instrument brings together the power and headroom of an Adirondack Spruce top with the depth and clarity of Indian Rosewood, all guided by a remarkably lightweight build that responds with immediacy and remarkable nuance. It is a commanding dreadnought, yet it never overwhelms; instead, it opens up with an expressive range that rewards the lightest touch and surges effortlessly under a strong hand.
Traditional Sitka Spruce braces, tucked and shaped without a tongue brace, allow the top to breathe with an open and seasoned character. A Honduran Mahogany neck provides strength and stability while contributing to the guitar’s unmistakable warmth. Every detail is executed with Collings’ unwavering precision, from the ebony bridge, fingerboard and headstock veneer to the ultra thin high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer that ensures minimal interference with the wood’s natural resonance. The tapered square headstock is crowned with an abalone torch inlay, a subtle nod to the time-honored legacy of 42-style instruments.
The body, fingerboard and headstock are framed in grained ivoroid, while an abalone top border and rosette shimmer against the Adirondack grain. A 3-style mosaic backstrip completes the trio of classic appointments. The 14 to 26 inch compound fingerboard radius, medium nickel silver frets and a fully adjustable truss rod make the instrument as inviting to play as it is inspiring to behold. With a 1 3/4 inch nut, 2 5/16 inch bridge spacing and a full 25.5 inch scale, it offers a familiar, confident feel for flatpickers and fingerstylists alike.
At just 4 pounds 12 ounces, the D-42A T is impressively resonant and alive, a dreadnought built to sing with authority and elegance for generations. It arrives in a hardshell case, ready to begin its next chapter with a player who values both beauty and performance at the highest level.
