Collings / DS1 12 Fret Honduran Mahogany Sitka Spruce / Guitar For Sale

Collings is known as one of the most respected guitar makers of our time, and the DS1 12-fret is a beautiful tribute to the pre-war Martin dreadnoughts of the 1930s. Bill Collings and his team in Austin, Texas, have specialized in reproducing the authentic construction methods from that golden era of guitar making! The 12-fret design was the standard before Martin switched to 14-fret models in 1934, and this traditional setup provides a warmer, more centered tone with less emphasis on the high end. The combination of all-Honduran mahogany with Sitka spruce creates a tonal character that is dry, warm, and incredibly balanced. The pre-war scalloped X-bracing allows the top to resonate freely, resulting in a rich fundamental tone with beautiful overtones! The modified V-neck profile feels comfortable, and the compound-radius ebony fingerboard ensures smooth chord playing in the lower positions and effortless lead work higher up the neck. This DS1 is perfect for fingerstyle, bluegrass, and folk, where its warm projection and excellent string separation really shine! The wide string spacing of 61 mm at the bridge is a gift for fluid players! Comes in a case with TFOA passport.

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
