The D1 from Collings Guitars, a square-shouldered dreadnought acoustic guitar with a Select Sitka Spruce top and Honduran Mahogany back and sides, is an extremely popular steel string guitar body shape. Although this guitar is fantastic for vocal accompaniment, certain versions are also great for bluegrass flatpickers as well. Collings brings a lot of tonal warmth and clarity to this model guitar. Thanks to Keith Ganz for his outstanding performance. Check out Keith's website! Sound Pure has a vast collection of Collings Guitars.

What we think:
The D1 has arrived at Sound Pure! This beautiful Sitka Spruce with Honduran Mahogany back and sides will certainly catch your eye. Just like all Collings guitars, the tonal range is very well-balanced and the warm sounds will keep you wanting to hear more. The bass response this guitar has makes it perfect for vocal accompaniment, however it also works extremely well in a shared setting with louder instruments.

Description:
The square-shouldered 14-fret dreadnought is the most popular steel-string acoustic guitar body shape in the world. While Collings is certainly not the first to build them, we bring a new tonal clarity to the depth and warmth usually associated with such a large, deep-bodied guitar. Although its bass response makes the dreadnought ideal for vocal accompaniment, Collings versions are also often employed by bluegrass flatpickers who must compete with inherently louder instruments such as banjos and fiddles. The wide range of woods and neck sizes offered allow dreadnought fans to find a Collings model ideally suited to their playing style and tonal preference.
