Collings D1 VN (Baked) Pre-owned

The Collings D1 VN (Baked) is an exceptional 14-fret dreadnought acoustic guitar that combines Collings' modern clarity with vintage warmth and character. The "Vintage Now" (VN) package pairs a 1 3/4" bone nut with 2 5/16" bridge spacing and a hefty late-1930s-inspired neck profile—ideal for fingerstyle players seeking wider string separation. The torrefied ("baked") Sitka Spruce or Adirondack Spruce top delivers a dry, fast response and immediate vintage sustain without waiting years for natural aging.

Built with Honduran Mahogany back and sides, pre-war scalloped bracing without tongue brace opens up the top for maximum resonance and bass projection. The 25 1/2" scale, high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish, tortoise-style binding, and nickel Waverly tuners complete a professional-grade instrument that bridges yesterday's tonal depth with today's consistency and playability.

This pre-owned example offers the coveted balance between modern Collings craftsmanship and authentic vintage acoustics—ready to deliver studio and stage performance without compromise.
