Collings D1A Adirondack Mahogany
De Collings D-1A is een van de vele Collings gitaren die het hart sneller doen pompen. De 14-fret dreadnought is de meest populaire staal-snarige akoestische gitaar ter wereld, en terwijl Collings zeker niet het enige bedrijf in de wereld is die ze bouwen, brengen ze een nieuwe helderheid, diepte en warmte die meestal niet geassocieerd wordt met zo'n grote en diepe gitaar. Hoewel de basweergave ideaal is voor vocale begeleiding, zijn Collings dreadnoughts ook vaak in dienst van bluegrass flatpickers die moet concurreren met inherent luidere instrumenten zoals banjo's en violen.
Hoewel de basrespons deze dreadnought perfect maakt voor vocale begeleiding zal een Collings dreadnought gegarandeerd zelfs de meest voorname bluegrass flatpicker tevreden stellen.
De Collings D-1A is gemaakt met een Adirondack sparren bovenblad, in plaats van Sitka-spar en is daarom een bluegrass-machine. Adirondack-spar heeft meer volume, is dynamischer en duidelijker dan Sitka en projecteert als een kanon. Deze vooroorlogse kenmerken geven het instrument nog meer headroom over het gehele spectrum van de gitaar, en is indrukwekkend om te zien en indrukwekkend om mee te maken.
The Collings D-1A is one (like most Collings guitars) that makes your heart pump faster: The square-shouldered 14-fret dreadnought is the most popular steel-string acoustic guitar body shape in the world. While Collings is certainly not the only company to build them, they bring a new tonal clarity to the depth and warmth usually not associated with such a large, deep-bodied guitar.
Although its bass response makes the dreadnought ideal for vocal accompaniment, Collings versions are also often employed by bluegrass flatpickers who must compete with inherently louder instruments such as banjos and fiddles. The wide range of woods and neck sizes offered allow dreadnought fans to find a Collings model ideally suited to their playing style and tonal preference.
The Collings D-1A is made with Adirondack spruce instead of Sitka spruce and is therefore a bluegrass machine. Adirondack spruce has more headroom, is more dynamic and clear than Sitka, and projects like a canon. This pre-war like setup gives the instrument even more headroom over the entire tonal spectrum, impressive to behold and empowering to play.
