Sound Pure's Take
Collings never ceases to amaze me! One of the most balanced and dynamic dreadnoughts we've had in our shop. This guitar shines brightest when paired with a heavy right hand, the harder you drive it, the more it proves itself capable of keeping up with even the most vigorous of strums.
Power, Clarity, Complexity, everything you could ask for in a dread.
From Collings Guitars
Named after the well-loved Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, Kansas, the Collings Winfield is a highly modified version of our standard dreadnought that features options commonly requested by flatpicking specialists. The combination of the stiff Adirondack spruce top with enlarged soundhole, supported by a top bracing pattern based on the earliest 14-fret dreadnoughts, make the CW a bluegrass powerhouse. Everything about this model is designed to provide plenty of headroom and projection for aggressive playing, but not at the expense of good tone.
