This 1995 Collings DS2H delivers the 12-Fret dreadnought sound into the Collings lineup of expertly-crafted guitars. Dating back to 1995, we sold this guitar originally and now have the opportunity to represent it as a used instrument as well. Inspired by the Hawaiian-style dreadnought guitars of the early 1900s, this build has a slightly longer body allowing for the bridge to land more centrally to the lower bout. This unique bit of geometry makes for a really comfortable player, with the right hand positioned nearer the soundhole for a warm, full sound. Here in excellent condition, with very little playwear for a nearly 30-year-old guitar. Includes the original Collings hardshell case.
