Traditional Voicing and Construction
Collings takes great care in hand-selecting lightweight, resonant tonewoods for the Traditional series. Each instrument is then hand-voiced and constructed using bracing carves, tolerances, and techniques specific to the T-Series, all designed to showcase the most desirable characteristics present in coveted pre-war instruments. The result of this alternate approach to construction is a strong fundamental tonality with a dry and articulate pick attack and exceptionally dynamic response.

Fully Redesigned Neck Support
One of the primary functions of the neck is to transfer string energy back into the body of the guitar. Part of the evolution of our Traditional series has been continued research into how neck construction affects the tone, feel, and response of an acoustic instrument. While their Traditional neck profile has not changed, the internal design has been re-engineered for 2020 to centralize the mass of the neck supports, resulting in an adjustable truss rod design with the benefits of a T-bar neck. These changes further enhance the rounded highs and open feel that are signatures of Collings' Traditional instruments.

Ultra-thin Nitrocellulose Lacquer Finish
Allowing the lightweight tonewoods selected for Collings' Traditional series to move properly is critical to building a new instrument that – like the best vintage specimens – sounds open and feels “played-in”. Collings achieves this on their T-Series through the application of an ultra-thin, all-lacquer finish that is meticulously hand-sanded between coats and repeatedly measured throughout the process.
