The Collings D2HA Traditional is one of those guitars that immediately captures your attention. As a 14 fret dreadnought, it represents the most iconic steel string design, yet Collings elevates it with a level of clarity, depth and warmth that is rarely found in guitars of this size.

The Traditional Series offers a more vintage inspired take on the renowned Collings sound. Built with a lightweight construction, each guitar features carefully selected tonewoods chosen for their resonance and response. Subtle design choices such as modified bracing and an adjustable T bar neck reinforcement contribute to a warm, rounded top end, a strong midrange and an open, breathing voice. The ultra thin nitrocellulose finish allows the instrument to resonate freely and enhances its dynamic character.

With its powerful bass response, this dreadnought is perfectly suited for vocal accompaniment, while still delivering the articulation and headroom demanded by bluegrass flatpickers. The combination of rosewood back and sides with an Adirondack spruce top and scalloped X bracing results in a rich, balanced tone with impressive projection. Finished in a stunning sunburst and built to the highest standards, this is a guitar that truly stands out.

It is no surprise that instruments like this rarely stay in our shop for long. Once you experience the sound and feel of a Collings, it is hard to look elsewhere.
