Adirondack Spruce

PRE-ORDER DEPOSIT ONLY-It just doesn’t get any better than this! The photos and videos here are of the shop-owner’s OO-42 cutaway, his #1 guitar that was modeled on a 1926 OO-42 that he had a long time ago. It is perfect for all kinds of finger-style. It plays like a dream and is very responsive to changes in touch and has rare and inspiring tone. The guitar that is available now for pre-order has identical specs. It boasts Tier 1 Brazilian Rosewood (see photo of the set that we selected)sides and back and Adirondack Spruce top and bracing attached with hot hide glue. It has a round neck profile, 1 13/16” width nut, 2 5/15” bridge spacing and a 24.75” scale for incredible ease of playing, even on difficult arrangements. The guitar boasts “42” style body and fingerboard inlays. The Cutaway allows great fret-access on this 12-fret model and lends a modern touch to a very traditional look.

As with all of Collings Traditional Series guitars, when it came time to add a “T” designation to their slope-shoulder offerings, they didn’t simply tweak the original; the all-new Collings CJ-45 T is a fully re-imagined instrument that offers a distinct tonal variation when compared to their CJ and CJ-35 models. Strongly vintage-inspired, the body construction has been completely re-engineered, including new bracing carves and patterns. When combined with the latest T-Series neck design and new CJ-45 neck profile, the result showcases a tone that is exceptionally dry and fundamental with the growl and thump sought after in the great slope-shoulder dreads of the Wartime era. Adirondack top. A hard shell case is included.

The Martin Marquis was Martin's top of the line in 2011 and this guitar sounds as good as it should with an Adirondack Spruce top and Indian Rosewood sides and back. It has an easy playing 1 3/4" nut width and a 2 5/16" Bridge spacing. The guitar is in excellent condition, is nicely broken in and shows some signs of normal playing but there are no dents or dings. The frets show about 15% wear but don't any need attention yet. There are a few finish crazes and just a hair of space under one side of the bridge but the guitar is sound, needs no attention and is ready to play and enjoy. It comes with it's hard shell case.

This is simply the best D-150 currently available with a quality level of Brazilian Rosewood that is almost impossible to find today. It is quarter-sawn and has beautiful figuring with great depth and shimmer. The master grade Adirondack Spruce top is also one of the best we've seen or heard in a long time and has nice tight grain. The sound of this guitar is over the top good with balance, volume, richness, and detail and it is great for flatpicking and fingerpicking. This one owner D-150 has received regular care from Dana Bourgeois and is in excellent condition. It has some very light buckle indentations on the back that do not detract from the appearance as well as some light capo marks on the neck that don't affect the feel of the neck and could be buffed if desired by the new owner. This is one of the good ones. It comes with its original hard shell case.

We love the Bourgeois Coupe! The 00's 12 Fret size puts the bridge in the guitar top's sweet spot and the cutaway gives you great upper fret access!

This sunburst CW Series dreadnought is designed for maximum power and volume. It features an Adirondack top and bracing, no tongue brace, an enlarged soundhole and East Indian Rosewood back and sides. It features a 1 23/32” nut width and a 2 1/4” belly bridge. Named after the well-loved Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, Kansas, the Collings Winfield is a highly modified version of our standard dreadnought that features options commonly requested by flatpicking specialists. The combination of the stiff Adirondack spruce top with enlarged soundhole, supported by a top bracing pattern based on the earliest 14-fret dreadnoughts, make the CW a bluegrass powerhouse. Everything about this model is designed to provide plenty of headroom and projection for aggressive playing, but not at the expense of good tone.

Our 900 Series stands out as our most luxurious class of rosewood guitars, blending a raft of tone-enhancing details with premium aesthetic features. The 914ce acoustic-electric Grand Auditorium boasts V-Class™ bracing, which functions as a new sonic engine for the guitar. Not only does it enhance the volume and sustain, it also changes the soundboard movement in a way that improves the guitar’s natural intonation, or “in-tuneness.” The result is more power in the upper register and more harmonic agreement between all fretted notes, which helps chord voicings sing like never before. Players who love the deep lows and sparkling highs of rosewood will appreciate how well behaved the overtones are as notes bloom. Premium features include a beveled ebony armrest that makes your picking/strumming arm more comfortable, along with Gotoh 510 tuners, whose 21:1 gear ratio allows for precise tuning. Refined appointments include ebony binding, our Ascension fretboard/peghead inlay in paua and pearl, a paua rosette with koa and ebony purfling, and paua/koa trim along much of the body and neck. All V-Class guitars feature a black graphite nut and a new guitar label that bears the signature of master guitar designer Andy Powers.
