The Collings CW, short for Winfield, is a model designed with one clear goal in mind: maximum power, projection and headroom for flatpicking players.
Named after the famous Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, Kansas, this dreadnought is a modified take on the Collings standard design and has become a true favorite among bluegrass and acoustic lead players.
This CW features a solid Adirondack spruce top paired with Adirondack bracing and an enlarged soundhole. Combined with a bracing pattern inspired by Collings’ earliest 14 fret dreadnoughts, the result is an incredibly responsive and authoritative voice with impressive volume, clarity and punch. The solid Honduran mahogany back and sides add focus, warmth and a strong fundamental, keeping the sound tight and controlled even under aggressive playing.
Playability is exactly what you would expect from Collings. The modified V neck profile feels supportive and comfortable, while the compound radius ebony fingerboard allows for effortless movement across the neck. Subtle but distinctive visual touches like the tortoise pickguard and clean fingerboard without inlays give the CW its instantly recognizable character.
This guitar is brand new and comes with a hardshell case, Collings booklet, polishing cloth and TFOA passport.
