This natural top Hill Country D2 from Collings delivers a bold dreadnought sound, with a rich, focused and warm response throughout the range of the instrument - without some of the high-end harmonic complexity often found in modern guitars - more of a vintage sound right out of the case.
The Hill Country line of guitars deliver a new vintage-voiced build, with the same quality and attention to detail that has always been synonymous with Collings, but in warmer, dry, low-end and mid-focused guitar with a bit of a growl to it when pushed. Here with an Adirondack spruce top, paired with East Indian Rosewood, this Dreadnought features hand-poured tortoise appointments, new bracing and top/back voicings, and a stamped Collings logo on the back of the headstock.
The control, and power that comes from this line of Collings guitars rivals any sort of vintage-inspired build out there, and we're so very excited to get to spend time getting to know these guitars before we usher them along to their new home. Includes a free Mass Street setup from our crew of luthiers along with the original hardshell case.
