Sound Pure's Take

Lively and brimming with light, this super clean used D2H came in from a collector needing scant setup work to bring it to a full 10/10.  Collings acoustics can sound even more aggressive and forward than Martins and this guitar certainly does not disappoint in that regard, particularly in the bass and low mids (scooped but not scalped!) whereas the top end boasts a sustain and delicacy that brings the whole voice together like an orchestra that's been playing together for a lifetime.  Stunning! 

Condition: Used, Excellent

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 only company 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.
