Collings DS2H 12-Fret Dreadnought (Pre-owned)
Fantastic slope shoulder dreadnought from Collings with a sitka spruce top, Indian rosewood body, wider nut (1 13/16") and a 12th fret neck join.
In excellent condition overall and set up beautifully. Has some minor lacquer bubbling on the fingerboard edges near the nut.
About the Collings DS2H:
This is the original 12-fret dreadnought shape, first designed as an oversized Hawaiian guitar almost a century ago. Collings have retained the shape and wide neck with slotted headstock from that bygone era, but the DS models are thoroughly modern guitars with a unique sound all their own.
The longer body with the bridge closer to the centre 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.
