This Collings D2H Custom acoustic is one of the finest dreads we've seen. Pristine Sitka Spruce top with gorgeous East Indian Rosewood back and sides, both with a high gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish. The sound here is big, warm and clear. Spectacular. This acoustic, like several of our custom Collings, has Adirondack Spruce bracing, but no tongue brace, which we feel gives fantastic resonance and enhanced tone. This has a 1 11/16" nutwidth on an Ebony fretboard and every detail here from the Ebony endpin to the Rosewood headstock overlay is perfection. Hard case included. Retail on this Collings D2H Custom guitar is $4,025, but just give us a call at 1-800-747-9980 or email us at for our price.

This Collings D2H VN Custom gives you the sound so sought after - bold yet balanced. As always with Collings, every detail is impeccable, from the binding to the tuners to the bridge pins. It has a spectacular medium/wide grained Sitka Spruce top, and the nutwidth is 1 3/4" on a Vintage Now neck. This acoustic, like several of our custom Collings, has forward shifted Adirondack Spruce bracing, but no tongue brace, which we feel gives fantastic resonance and enhanced tone.
Retail on this Collings D2H VN is $4,200. Give us a call at 1-800-747-9980 or email us at for our price.

Simple yet stunning, this Collings OM1 VN Custom is superb in every way. Made with a Sitka Spruce top and Mahogany back and sides, this guitar has a balanced, rich tone and fantastic resonance. It has Adirondack bracing, and no tongue brace, which lends a more open clarity to the sound, while still having the focus and response expected from an Orchestra Model body. The playability is outstanding thanks to Collings' expert craftsmanship, and once you pick this guitar up you won't want to put it down.
It has a 'Vintage Now' Mahogany neck, a 1 3/4" nut width, and a high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish. Its tortoise-style pickguard, tortoise-style binding, and Ebony peghead overlay provide subtle aesthetic appeal, but with no fretboard inlay and only a simple Walnut backstrip, the natural beauty of this guitar's wood really stands out. Check out the gorgeous grain in its heel and headstock (see photos). Finely built from top to bottom, this Collings OM1 VN Custom comes with a hard shell case. Retail is $4,200, but give us a call at 1-800-747-9980 or email us at for our price.

An absolutely gorgeous instrument, this Collings 01 SB is immaculate. A beautiful example of Collings' expert craftsmanship, it plays, sounds, and looks fantastic. It measures 13.5 inches in width, and its slightly smaller body and shorter scale make it exceptionally comfortable to play. It has an incredible aural presence that belies its size - brilliant resonance, focused yet rich sound, and a balanced tonal range. You won't want to put this guitar down.
Made with a Sitka top and Mahogany back and sides, it has a 1 3/4" nut width and a 24 7/8" scale. It has a smooth sunburst finish, a simple Walnut backstrip, and tortoise-style binding. Add in the natural beauty of its wood (the grain is especially stunning on the heel and headstock) and you have an eye-catching instrument.
Retail on this Collings 01 SB is $4,375, but give us a call at 1-800-747-9980 or email us at for our price. Comes with a hard shell case.

This used Collings SJ Maple Cutaway SB is gorgeous. With a stunning full-body Sunburst finish and Collings' high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, there's no doubt this guitar is an eye-catcher. Aside from the beautiful contours of its Small Jumbo design, it has the perfect amount of aesthetic flare with Modern Diamond inlays on its double-bound Ebony fretboard, an ornate backstrip, and an Ebony veneered 'haircut' headstock.
Built with a wider lower bout and a tighter waist than a dreadnought, this SJ's sound will blow you away. It has the fantastic low-end volume and depth of a large-bodied guitar, yet pronounced and clear mids thanks to the unique shape of its sound chamber. Not only does it sound fantastic, but it plays extremely well. In Excellent condition, this instrument has been well taken care of. There is a tiny amount of lacquer shrinkage in the treble side waist. Crafted in 1997.
A great example of truly expert craftsmanship, this Collings SJ Maple Cutaway SB comes with its original hard case. $4,600. Consignment item. Sorry, shipping not included. USED
This Collings CJ G Maple SB Custom is truly one of a kind. Bill Collings based the design of this, and two other Collings we just received, on one of our owner, Jim Baggett's own vintage Gibson J-35 guitars. One of the things that sets this amazing instrument apart from other CJs is the Adirondack straight (non-scalloped) bracing with three transverse braces giving the top more compression resulting in exceptional classic tone. The top here is German Spruce with a hand applied color with shaded figured Maple back and sides, which is simply stunning - and that burst that Collings does so extremely well. This is all set off beautifully with ivoroid binding and every detail we've come to expect from Collings. An exceptional player with a 1 3/4" nutwidth and 2 1/4" string spacing.
"I'm usually not a big Maple fan in general, but of all the three custom CJs, this is surprisingly my absolute favorite. Incredibly clear, but rich sounding guitar." - John F.

This Collings OM1A Cutaway acoustic is one of our favorites - both fingerstyle players and flatpickers have found this to be a real joy to play. The combination of the size, the Adirondack top and Mahogany back and sides gives this amazing sound and balance.
From every aspect, this guitar is an absolute stunner. It has incredibly clean and rich headroom that you normally don't get from an OM. The Ad top combined with Mahogany back and sides is a perfect recipe for an instrument that projects incredibly well. You can lay into this guitar as if you're playing a dreadnought, and the tone holds together perfectly. It's an extremely versatile guitar, making it equally suitable for the stage, studio or the front porch on a Sunday afternoon in the spring!

This Collings SJ is superb. A small Jumbo that really delivers on all counts. The German Spruce top and East Indian Rosewood back and sides, plus the larger lower bout and tighter waist give you the power and bass of a larger instrument while delivering great midrange, bass and clear highs - really nicely balanced. This, like all Collings, is impeccably crafted from stem to stern with nitrocellulose lacquer finish, double bound fretboard and peghead, bone nut, and so much more. This SJ gives you the very cool 'hair cut' headstock shape and deco inspired fretboard inlays as well. This is an exceptional guitar in tonal quality, playability and appearance. This comes with a hard case as well.
Retail on this Collings SJ German Spruce is $5,325. Give us a call at 1-800-747-9980 or email us at for our price.
