This is a powerhouse of a dreadnought! This Collings DS2-H, 12 fret to the body dreadnought, has richness, openness and volume that has to be heard to be believed. Another fantastic dreadnought from the great guitars builders at Collings! Here is Collings' description:
This is the original 12-fret dreadnought shape, first designed as an oversized Hawaiian guitar almost a century ago. We’ve retained the shape and wide neck with slotted headstock from that bygone era, but our DS models are thoroughly modern guitars with a unique sound all their own.
The longer body with the bridge closer to the center of the lower bout delivers an open, airy tone with smoothness and warmth not typically found in modern 14-fret dreadnoughts. Whether flatpicked or played fingerstyle, these guitars have lots of headroom and the wide dynamic range invites everything from mellow accompaniment to biting leads.
