Comments	Collings guitars are outstanding illustrations of just how consistently good instrument construction can be. These are just great instruments. The Collings DS1 Slope Shoulder Dreadnought is a re-creation of the original dreadnought design, using the early slope-shoulder, 12-fret neck configuration. In their originally form, these instruments were targeted towards Hawaiian style players, so the tonal output is very smooth, rich, and full. There’s a massive presence with sparkling highs, a full yet not overwhelming bottom end, and luscious midrange.
Neck	Mahogany neck with unbound ebony fingerboard. 25.5″ scale length with 1 13/16″ nut width. Slotted peghead.
Frets	12 frets to the body, 19 frets total.
Body	Slope-shoulder dreadnought body design with Sitka spruce top, mahogany back and sides and ebony bridge. Pre-war type scalloped bracing is used, and faux tortoise binding and pickguard sets off the body. 15 5/8″ maximum body width, maximum depth 4 7/8″.
Finish	Gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish.
Hardware/electronics	Waverly tuning gears, bone nut and saddle.
Playability/Action	Collings instruments play really well with the factory setup, and we will of course make any adjustments required by the player.
Case	Collings deluxe hardshell case included.
