It's a big guitar with a voice to match. The Brazilian rosewood delivers that unmistakable combination of deep, clear bass and sparkling highs, while the Adirondack top provides the headroom and dynamic range that Sitka can't touch. After two decades of playing in, this guitar has opened up beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eCollings stopped offering Brazilian rosewood as a standard option years ago.

The top is clean with minimal playwear. The sides show some finish impressions from case storage, typical of nitrocellulose lacquer over time. No cracks, no repairs. Frets have plenty of life with no grooving. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adirondack spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBack \u0026amp; Sides:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brazilian rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck:\u003c\/strong\u003e Honduran mahogany, C-shape profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ebony with MOP long dots, 14\"-26\" compound radius\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBridge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ebony belly-style, 2 3\/16\" spacing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNut:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bone, 1 3\/4\" width\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSaddle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bone, drop-in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25 1\/2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBracing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sitka spruce, pre-war scalloped X-brace pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTuners:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nickel Waverly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Binding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ivoroid with b\/w\/b\/w\/b purfling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard\/Peghead Binding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ivoroid with b\/w purfling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBackstrip:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-style (Chevron)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRosette:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ivoroid with b\/w purfling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeghead:\u003c\/strong\u003e Haircut profile, ebony veneer with MOP Collings logo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e High gloss nitrocellulose lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e High gloss polyester resin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePickguard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tortoise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Original Collings deluxe hardshell case ($650 value)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSerial: 10993\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear: 2005 (shipped August 15)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eThe Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eBuilt in Austin, TX and shipped August 15, 2005.
