Collings DS2H Acoustic Guitar, from Collings

This is our first DS model and we are loving it! Plenty of volume and bass response with the perfect balance throughout. The tone is airy and colorful, with a smooth, shimmery high-end and a full bottom for support. Unbelievable projection and singing sustain make this DS an amazing choice for rhythm playing as well as vocal accompaniment. Dreadnought tone just doesn't get much better than this!

This is the original 12-fret dreadnought shape, first designed as an oversized Hawaiian guitar almost a century ago. We've retained the shape and wide neck with slotted headstock from that bygone era, but our DS models are thoroughly modern guitars with a unique sound all their own. The longer body, with the bridge closer to the center of the lower bout, delivers an open, airy tone with smoothness and warmth not typically found in modern, 14-fret dreadnoughts. Whether flatpicked or played fingerstyle, these guitars have lots of headroom and the wide dynamic range invites everything from mellow accompaniment to biting leads.
