Collings D1A Varnish for sale. This guitar was damaged in shipping and has been repaired. One side was cracked in 3 places all localized between the waist and lower bout on the treble side of the guitar. The interior has been repaired with 4 mahogany sides braces and and 3 mahogany cleats which span the crack to make it structurally secure. The exterior has been lightly touched up with matching mahogany stain and nitrocellulose lacquer, both of which were applied by drop fill/brush. (The side was not shot with nitro as I wanted to maintain as much of the original finish as possible.) The finish was wet sanded and buffed, but it is visible. The repair was professionally performed at Maple Street Guitars in Atlanta, GA by Jeff Henry (yours truly).
Aside from the repair, this is a new guitar. Absolutely beautiful tone. One of the best Collings I have heard, and I have heard quite a few. If you are looking for a Collings Dread, this is a great one-time deal! This guitar would sell new for over $5000.00, but because of the repair it has been deeply discounted. Action is superb. Very loud and responsive.
Comes with original Giebstyle case.
