This Collings Guitars - D2H A Traditional T Series, here with a 1 11/16" nut width, features a Adirondack Spruce top that makes for a robust low-end, and a powerful sound. When combined with this gorgeous straight-grained set of East Indian Rosewood back and side, this guitar has the direct, punch of Adirondack with the rich, full tone of East Indian Rosewood.
The Traditional Series is marked by a return to just that, traditional building techniques and materials combined with the Collings exquisite attention to detail. This new series is highlighted by traditional style bracing and tone woods which are adjusted, weighed and voiced to produce particularly warm, rounded highs while maintaining a full, rich low end. The extra thin Nitrocellulose lacquer finish, applied without a polyvinyl sealer, makes for a lively, expressive top that has the feel of an old vintage guitar. The Traditional Series tone is further enhanced by the use of Animal Protein glue, which can dry harder making every joint of this D2H that much more resonant and powerful.
This Collings D2H A Traditional comes with a TKL hardshell case, and includes a free setup from our luthiers.
