Collings D2HT Traditional 2017

Crafted with precision and passion, Collings redefines excellence with its Traditional Series guitars, offering a sound experience that harks back to the golden age of acoustic guitar building.

The Collings D2H Traditional is one of the many Collings guitars that makes the heart beat faster. The 14-fret dreadnought is the most popular steel-string acoustic guitar in the world, and while Collings is certainly not the only company in the world that builds them, they bring a new clarity, depth, and warmth not usually associated with such a large and deep guitar.

The Traditional Series by Collings represents a vintage-inspired sonic variation on the signature Collings sound. The guitars are distinguished by a lightweight construction in which tonewood is hand-selected for weight and resonance, and then crafted by hand into a powerful, balanced, and clear instrument. The adjustments to the bracing and adjustable T-bar truss rod, among others, further contribute to the warm, rounded highs, the pronounced midtones, and the open sound, not least due to the ultra-thin nitrocellulose lacquer layer that allows the guitar to vibrate optimally.

Although the bass response makes this dreadnought perfect for vocal accompaniment, a Collings dreadnought is guaranteed to satisfy even the most distinguished bluegrass flatpicker. The D2H features a mahogany body with a Sitka spruce top, supported by scalloped X-bracing.

This Collings was built in 2017 and has accumulated signs of play over the years. Due to the K&K Pure Mini pickup and strap button, it is very likely that this guitar has seen many stages, and we therefore find light buckle wear on the back of the body. Multiple dings can also be found on the top and body, as well as on the neck and headstock. However, it is a very neat guitar that is well on its way to achieving player grade!
