Sound Pure's Take
An excellent example of what you get when time, care, and a worldclass guitar meet. This powerhouse of a dread has had the attention needed from its previous owner to settle and really come into its own as an instrument. Robust but taut in the bass, a just-right scoop to the midrange, and dramatic, sparkling sustain in the treble register. Some of our best values show up used--don't miss out on this one!
Condition: Used, very good
There are some very small dimples in the finish by the shoulder, these faint blemishes are included in the gallery.
From Collings Guitars
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.
