Collings D2H ASB Adirondack Top and Bracing

Incredible 2014 Collings D2H Antique Sunburst

This has been loved well and played. It was always kept in a safe and clean environment with no smoke and balanced humidity. It has some love bites and dings around the body and some fogging in the lacquer. There are some spots in the lacquer on the top of the guitar where a liquid is stained, but it is only visible in certain light.ξ

Amazing sounding guitar. This is everything that you would hope a Collings Dread would be.ξ

It has commanding presence with balanced tone and clarity. The Indian Rosewood brings the guitar balance and warmth; which when coupled with Adirondack Red Spruce brings the guitar strong fundamentals, a lightning quick response, and crisp trebles. Adirondack was the legendary topwood used on most pre-war American-made guitars. Adirondack has a high stiffness across and along the grain, making it one of the go-to topwoods for flatpickers. The D2HA is a guitar you take to battle, the guitar you fight for.

While Collings is certainly not the first to build 14-fret dreadnoughts, they bring a new tonal clarity to the depth and warmth usually associated with such a large, deep-bodied guitar. The 1 11/16" nut width is typical for dreadnoughts, and gives a closer spacing for quick flatpicking runs. This is the real deal, boys and girls.
