Description
This instrument is in Very-Good Condition showing only normal signs of wear and use which include minor hairline scratches/marks throughout as well as a couple minor dings here and there, particularly on the back of the neck. The frets show slight wear, mainly on the b & e strings, but will not require any attention in the immediate future. This guitar includes an AG1-CH hardshell case as the original case is not included.
The 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, they 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 accompaniment, Collings versions are also often employed by bluegrass flatpickers who must compete with inherently louder instruments such as banjos and fiddles.
We inspect each and every instrument we ship out for maximum playability. We adjust the action and adjust intonation when needed. If you would like a specific adjustment, just add it to your order notes and we would be happy to adjust to your liking.
