This used 2018 D1AT is a great deal on a used Traditional Series Collings. Featuring an upgraded Adirondack top over Mahogany back and sides, this is a flatpicking machine. This T-series model is highlighted by traditional style bracing and tone woods which are adjusted, weighed and voiced to produce particularly warm, rounded highs while maintaining a full, rich low end. The finish has sunk beautifully into the top, showing off what a high-quality, thin nitrocellulose finish this guitar shipped with.
The guitar does have a repaired, minor side crack on the bass-side near the waist that unfortunately does not show up in photographs and only is visible in the right reflection. There is also a minor finish scuff around the high E-string tuner bushing which doesn't photograph well either. While there is the aforementioned side crack, the guitar overall is in Very Good condition with minor playwear and an excellent side crack repair completed here in our repair shop. Includes a Collings hardshell case.
