Sound Pure's Take
This D2H A T is a killer. The eveness of tone from top to bottom is magical and the voice is just enormous. For classic dreadnought sounds with a touch of modern clarity and sparkle, this is the move. The Adirondack top is lively and extraordinarily fun to interact with, and the straight, even grain on the East Indian Rosewood is like an accident on the highway--you just can't look away!
From Collings Guitars
Our Traditional Series or "T-Series” 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.
