*This is a used guitar in very good condition
*This is a consignment item
*Includes original Collings "Traditional" hard shell case
*Observations: This is a beautiful, fantastic sounding guitar. It has some playing wear---pick scratches and scuffs, very small dents here and there and a couple of small dents on the back, but overall the guitar looks lovely. The thin finish has sunken in just a bit, slightly revealing the gorgeous texture of the wood, and the tone is uncommonly big, loud and punchy. This guitar also includes one of Collings' super-cool custom-made Geib-style "Traditional" cases, which were only available for a few years.
$5499 plus $45 for shipping (consignment item)

Bracing and tone woods are adjusted for weight and thickness to create a voicing characterized by warm, rounded highs and a present low midrange, while retaining a quick attack and strong projection.
The Traditional Series or "T-Series" guitars reflect Bill Collings' return to his guitar making roots, offering a new tonal variation on the distinctive Collings sound.
