SJ

Just in! New! Collings SJ Sunburst: This is the most amazing Collings SJ we've ever heard. Not to mention the most amazing looking. It has harmonic overtones galore on top of being very clear with powerful projection and precise note separation. Collings is famous for their sunburst finishes and this beauty has sunburst one all four sides as well as the the fabulous Flame-Maple neck. It's a timeless classic that will blow your mind and warm your heart at the same time. Stretched-diamond fingerboard and peghead inlays, grained Ivoroid binding on the body, fingerboard, and peghead, "haircut" peghead with Ebony veneer, and gold Waverly tuners. With hard case. LIST: $6000. BuffaloBros. price: $5400. Stock# NGB27621. photo

DREADNOUGHT

New! Collings D-1: All of you who have been waiting anxiously for the perfect Mahogany dreadnought, here it is. Great big sound. Clear as a bell and cuts like a knife. Mahogany has a stronger fundamental than Rosewood with fewer harmonic overtones. This gives the guitar the authentic, classic woody tone. Bill Collings repaired and studied many vintage instruments before devoting his life to perfecting the guitar. The result is a far better sounding, stronger instrument than most of the 'vintage' guitars you may encounter today. Sitka Spruce top, tortoise-shell binding, Rosewood peghead veneer, 1-11/16" nut width, and nickel Waverly tuners. With hard case. LIST: $3550. BuffaloBros. price: $3195. Stock# NGB26024. photO

New! Collings D-1A  We so eagerly anticipate the arrival of every Collings guitar that our receiving clerk, pedal steel wizard Rick Schmidt, has to beat back the employees with a stick every time one arrives. This Adirondack Spruce top dreadnought fulfills all the promise of a finely crafted, incredible sounding instrument. Powerful, strong bass, and huge ringing tones. No wonder it has the fingerprints of everyone here all over it. We do promise to polish them off before you get it though. With hard case LIST: $4450 BuffaloBros. price $4005 Stock#NGB26040*

New! Collings D-1AV: This is the Collings "vintage" version of the D-1A. It has the Adirondack Spruce top and Honduras  Mahogany back & sides. But it also has the V shaped vintage 1 /3" wide neck and the Ebony bridge with the slotted through saddle. Justb about as perfect a dreadnought as you can get. With hard case $CALL Stock#NGB26726

New! Collings DS-1A:  We come full circle with the Collings DS-1A. The original 'dreadnought' as envisioned by mssrs. Ditson and Martin had an elongated body with 12 frets clear of the body. Afficionados declare that this produces a much richer tone than their stubby bodied, 14-fret brothers. We are in agreement with this theory. Just play this guitar and make up your own mind! We think you might join the loyal followers of the original 12-fret design. No need to wave banners or march in a parade, just get one for yourself and practice, practice, practice. You'll be happy. Isn't that what it's all about? With hard case. LIST: $5000 BuffaloBros. price: $4500. Stock# NGB26724. photo

New! Collings CW: Years ago, when Mr. Collings burst upon the scene making extra fine acoustic guitars with his name on the headstock (he had previously made instruments under the name of a famous Nashville guitar shop), there was a model he produced that was only available at Baldy Brothers guitars in Austin. Now, this same guitar is available at many fine Collings dealers throughout the country as the model CW. There is some speculation as to whether the CW indicates a "Country/Western" model or designates it as the "Collings Winfield" to commemorate Collings participation in that famous musical festival for many years (AKA the Walnut Valley Festival). Or, does it pay homage to a certain legendary guitar player whose initials were C.W. ? These facts are in evidence: (1) It is a fabulous guitar, with raw power and rich tonality, with a sound that those who favor using small sections of the shell of the land tortoise can wholly appreciate. (2) it has a bound fingerboard, quite similar to the guitar of the aforementioned legendary picker, and (3) It has the larger than normal soundhole which appears on other guitars designed in homage to that same player. This feature of course, produced more projection, especially in the mid-range, and improves the listening experience for both player and audience. Whatever the title one places on the instrument, it still does not do justice to the quality of both sound and playability found within. You might just want to experience it for your self.

New! Collings OM-2 E Cutaway: All the forces of the guitar making world combine to produce this fantastic sounding guitar. First, the incredible wizardry of the grand Vizer of flattops him self: Bill Collings. Second, the great selection of the combination of Englemann Spruce for the top, and Rosewood for the back & sides. Third, the intense attention to detail that is the hallmark of every Collings guitar. Bill and the boys (and girls) of Collings know the sound they want to hear from a fine quality acoustic guitar, and that sound is the same sound the real players want too. This is a superb instrument, and deserves to be in your hands! With hard case LIST: $4525. BuffaloBros. price $4072. Stock#NGB26719 photo

New! Collings OM-2HE: A beautiful sounding OM that doesn't take a forceful hand to bring forth all the tone you could ask for. The top is a creamy smooth Englemann Spruce, which doesn't need as much power as Adirondack or Sitka Spruce to bring out the subtle overtones and sweet highs that appeal to many players. Beautiful visually, and beautiful to hear as well. With hard case LIST: $3925. BuffaloBros. price: $3533 Stock#NGB27438 photo

Used Collings 000-1 Mh (EXC) The Collings description of this guitar is: "All Mahogany, 12-fret, slotted headstock, with tortoise shell binding and individual Waverly tuning machines, and descending size 3 dot fretboard position markers". Yes, that's the description. Doesn't really begin to tell you about the guitar. This Grand Concert beauty has absolutely the purest tone of any guitar we have played in an awfully long time. That should say it all! With hard case. $3200. Stock# UGB23713. PHOTO
