Collings D-42A T Baked

This is classic style, forever quality and solid tradition in a D-style that is rarely acheived as well as the craftsmen of Collings can rpoduce. The Traditional Series or "T-Series” guitars reflect Bill Collings' return to his guitar making roots. Each T-Series guitar is built using animal protein glue and a very thin, all nitrocellulose lacquer finish, making them exceptionally dynamic and responsive. Bracing and tone woods are adjusted for weight and thickness to create a voicing characterized by warm, rounded highs and a present low midrange, while retaining a quick attack and strong projection. Look at the features below and look at the pictures - and drool. Get it!
