Features a hand-rubbed Varnish finish, 1 3\/4\" nut, and Adirondack spruce top! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe square-shouldered 14-fret dreadnought is the most popular steel-string acoustic guitar body shape in the world. While Collings is certainly not the only company to build them, we bring a new tonal clarity to the depth and warmth usually associated with such a large, deep-bodied guitar. Although its bass response makes the dreadnought ideal for vocal\u003cbr\u003e\naccompaniment, Collings versions are also often employed by bluegrass flatpickers who must compete with inherently louder instruments such as banjos and fiddles. The wide range of woods and neck sizes offered allow dreadnought fans to find a Collings model ideally suited to their playing style and tonal preference.\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe \"Vintage Now\" has slightly wider spacing at the saddle (2 5\/16\") with 1 3\/4\" at the nut. This neck is slightly larger than the standard (non-vintage) profile, but is not quite as large as some of the chunkiest vintage Martin necks. This neck has more of a vintage feel, but is more palatable than the standard Vintage neck (see below) to a lot of players. The neck shape is slightly rounder (less V) in the lower position and moves towards a modified V shape as you go up the neck. The neck depth (including the fingerboard) is typically .845\" at the 1st fret and .960\" at the 9th fret. The fingerboard width measures 2.195\" at the 12th fret.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eTop\tAdirondack spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eBack \u0026amp; Sides\tHonduran mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNeck\tHonduran mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eBody Binding\tTortoise with b\/w\/b\/w top purfling\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFingerboard Binding\tNone\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePeghead Binding\tNone\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eBridge\tEbony belly-style with 2 3\/16\" spacing\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFingerboard\tEbony with MOP long dots\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eBridge Pins\/End Pin\tEbony with MOP dot\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNut\tBone, 1 3\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSaddle\tBone, drop-in\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNeck Profile\tModified V\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePeghead Profile\tTapered square\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNeck Joint\tMortise \u0026amp; tenon hybrid\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eTruss Rod\tFully adjustable\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFrets\tMedium 18% nickel-silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePeghead Veneer\tEbony with MOP Collings logo\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eTuners\tNickel Waverly (16:1 ratio)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eBackstrip\t1-style (Walnut)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eRosette\tb\/w Purfling\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eScale Length\t25 1\/2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eBrace Material\tSitka spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eBrace Pattern\tPre-war scalloped X-brace\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFingerboard Radius\t14\" - 26\" compound\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eBody Finish\tVarnish\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNeck Finish\tVarnish\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePickguard\tTortoise\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eStrings\tD'Addario EJ-17 (.013\"- .056\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCase\tDeluxe hardshell case by TKL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Reemes Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53838850326847,"sku":"RMC-MUS-G53708602","price":3687.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/7535\/9039\/files\/29691-4sm.jpg?v=1782094805","url":"https:\/\/www.reemesmusic.com\/products\/collings-d1a-varnish-691","provider":"Reemes Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
