The Twelfth Fret ~ Since 1977 ~

❌SOLD❌ Collings D3

Instrument Categories: , , ,

I don’t get a lot of high end models like the Collings D3 through from Bill Collings, but when I do I’m always bowled over by the classically understated aesthetic … the jet black bound fingerboard with no face markers (just the all important side dots) … the bound Brazilian rosewood peghead highlighted with gold plated Waverlys … just a hint of flash with the premium Paua shell rosette … BOY this thing looks good!

After I get over the shock of how authoritative this instrument sounds when playing aggressive rhythm work I can really start to appreciate just how solid sounding the trebles on Bill’s guitars are. That is not a particularly easy feat when making a dreadnought, believe me. This dreadnought has the entire package, the required gale-force low end, that wonderful dry woody traditional midrange register and trebles that will slice through a fiddle like a hot knife through warm butter!!!
