The Collings D1-T pairs the warmth and depth of Sinker Mahogany with the clarity and responsiveness of Old Growth Sitka Spruce, creating an exceptional dreadnought with remarkable tonal balance and vintage-inspired character. Built and voiced as part of the Traditional Series, it features a high-gloss, ultra-thin nitrocellulose lacquer finish that allows the tonewoods to resonate freely. Tortoise binding with custom wood purflings, a custom wood rosette, and a tortoise pickguard add understated elegance, while the ebony belly-style bridge and walnut 1-style backstrip complete its classic appearance.
The traditional Honduran mahogany neck features a comfortable traditional profile, 25 1/2-inch scale length, and fully adjustable truss rod. An ebony fingerboard with gold mother-of-pearl long-dot inlays and a 14"-26" compound radius provides a smooth and natural playing experience. Additional appointments include a bone nut and cut-through bone saddle, medium 18% nickel-silver frets, and an ebony peghead veneer featuring the gold mother-of-pearl Collings logo. Nickel Waverly tuners complete the vintage-inspired detailing.
At its heart, a custom Traditional Series pre-war scalloped X-bracing pattern, featuring Sitka Spruce braces and an abbreviated soundboard graft, contributes to its powerful projection, dynamic sensitivity, and impressive tonal complexity. The Sinker Mahogany back and sides deliver warmth, rich midrange character, and focused low-end response, while the Old Growth Sitka Spruce top adds articulation, headroom, and sparkling clarity. Together, these tonewoods create a versatile acoustic voice equally suited to delicate fingerstyle playing and full-bodied strumming.
Weighing just 4 pounds 8 ounces, the Collings D1-T is an exceptional dreadnought that balances traditional craftsmanship with outstanding musical expression. Finished with a deluxe hardshell case and strung with D'Addario EJ-17 strings, it is a beautifully appointed instrument for players who appreciate exceptional tonewoods, vintage-inspired construction, and the uncompromising attention to detail that defines Collings guitars.
