The Collings D2H-T Old Growth Sitka is a stunning expression of vintage-inspired craftsmanship, blending the warmth and soul of a pre-war dreadnought with the precision, refinement, and consistency that define Collings at its finest. Built within the revered Traditional Series platform, this D2H-T delivers an unmistakably open, seasoned voice with remarkable responsiveness and depth.

At the center of the instrument is an exceptional Old Growth Sitka spruce top finished in a rich sunburst that perfectly complements the guitar’s timeless aesthetic. Paired with East Indian rosewood back and sides, the result is a voice that is expansive, warm, and harmonically complex. Deep, piano-like bass response meets clear, ringing trebles and a lush midrange, creating the kind of tonal balance that feels equally at home under a flatpick or a delicate fingerstyle approach.

The Traditional Series build and voicing give this guitar a more relaxed, vintage-inspired response with enhanced openness and resonance. Its custom pre-war scalloped X-bracing, paired with an abbreviated soundboard graft, allows the top to move freely and effortlessly, producing a dry, broken-in character that feels alive in the hands from the very first note.

Visually, the guitar carries an understated elegance rooted in classic American acoustic design. Ivoroid body binding with fine brown herringbone purfling frames the sunburst top beautifully, while the custom wood rosette and traditional 2-style zipper backstrip add subtle vintage detail throughout. The ebony fingerboard features striking gold mother-of-pearl long diamond and square inlays, bringing a refined touch of sophistication without overpowering the guitar’s timeless character.

The Honduran mahogany neck features Collings’ Traditional profile for a comfortable, vintage-inspired feel, while the compound-radius ebony fingerboard offers effortless playability across the entire 25 1/2" scale length. Premium appointments continue throughout, including an ebony belly-style bridge with 2 5/16" spacing, bone nut and cutthrough saddle, ivoroid bridge pins with black dots, and nickel Waverly tuners for exceptional tuning stability and classic aesthetics.

Finished in ultra-thin high gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, the body resonates with remarkable openness and clarity while preserving every nuance of the Old Growth Sitka top. Weighing just 4 lbs 11 oz and housed in a deluxe hardshell case, this D2H-T captures everything players love about great vintage dreadnoughts while delivering the precision and reliability of a world-class modern build.

Powerful, responsive, and deeply musical, this Collings is the kind of instrument that immediately feels familiar, inspiring, and destined to grow even more extraordinary with every year of play.
