The Collings MF is a visually simplified yet extremely high quality instrument, based on the classic F style carved top and back mandolins from the early years of the Twentieth Century. Building in Austin, Texas, Collings produces very well built guitars and mandolins, and their nitrocellulose lacquer finish quality is second to none.
Combining classic D body construction and ’42’ style trim, this 2007 Collings D-42A dreadnought pairs Adirondack Spruce with Indian Rosewood. This sonic cannon delivers much more than good looks and top quality construction. Now out of production, the Collings D-42A sat at the top of Collings’ ‘Traditional’ line.
Here we’re looking at a Martin D28 Marquis, built during 2008 at the Martin plant in Nazareth, Pennsylvania. This example pairs an Adirondack Spruce top with Indian Rosewood for the sides, back, and head plate. Typical of Martin guitars, the body blocks and neck are Tropical Mahogany, and as part of the Style 28 feature set, the fingerboard and bridge are Ebony.
Here is a little bit of Canadian Luthiery history – a T.D. Hibbs SM-01 Selmer or ‘Maccaferri’, Gypsy Jazz style steel string guitar, quite possibly one of Hibb’s last, apparently built in late 2009. T.D. Hibbs was a woodworker, woodworking instructor and trained musician in the Cambridge, Ontario area.
