The Collings D2H AT is a beautifully voiced dreadnought that blends pre-war-inspired power with the refined balance Collings is famous for. Its Adirondack spruce top and East Indian rosewood body deliver bold projection, deep low-end authority, and a shimmering harmonic sparkle that stays articulate even when you really dig in. Collings’ Traditional Series voicing and scalloped bracing add quick response and impressive headroom, while the Honduran mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard feel smooth and confident. With elegant diamond-and-squares inlays and an ultra-thin nitro finish, this D2H AT is a serious, heirloom-level investment built to open up and inspire for decades.

Our Traditional Series or “T” guitars represent an exciting vintage-inspired tonal variation on the distinctive Collings sound, designed and crafted to showcase the most desirable characteristics present in coveted pre-war instruments. Bracing and tone woods are adjusted for weight and thickness to create a voicing characterized by warm, rounded highs and a present low midrange, while retaining a quick attack and strong projection.

D1 T vs D2H T

While both models share the same body dimensions, key differences are outlined below.

Our 1-style (D1 T) features Honduran mahogany back and sides with tortoise body binding and butt wedge, custom wood top purfling, a walnut backstrip, dot fingerboard inlays, and a simpler 1-style rosette.

Our 2-style (D2H T) features East Indian rosewood back and sides with ivoroid body binding and butt wedge, small brown herringbone top purfling, a “zipper” backstrip, diamonds and squares fingerboard inlays, and a more intricate 2-style rosette.

Standard (D2H) vs Traditional (D2H T)

While both models share the same body dimensions, key differences are outlined below.

Our standard series instruments (non-T) offer the classic Collings voice, which features shimmery highs, a punchy midrange, a tight and clean low end, and maximum headroom with a quick response.  The standard neck profile is our Modified V with 1 11/16″ nut width and 2 3/16″ string spacing.  Standard instruments also offer a wider range of custom options than Traditionals.

Our Traditional series instruments (T) offer a slightly looser, more “broken in” feel and tone, featuring a rounder high end and fuller low midrange, along with our Traditional aesthetic appointments, such as gold MOP inlays and custom wood purflings and rosette.  Traditional models also feature an ultra-thin nitrocellulose lacquer body finish, abbreviated soundboard graft (tongue brace), and a unique neck construction designed to complement the looser feel and voicing, along with our Traditional neck carve.  Due to the vintage-inspired vision for these guitars, Traditional instruments are offered with limited custom options.
