2024 Collings DS1 12-Fret Dreadnaught Natural > Guitars Acoustic

Description

Freshly inspected and set up in-house by our esteemed Guitar Tech. See below for more details and specifications.

FROM COLLINGS:

This is the original 12-fret dreadnought shape, first designed as an oversized Hawaiian guitar almost a century ago. We’ve retained the shape and wide neck with slotted headstock from that bygone era, but our DS models are thoroughly modern guitars with a unique sound all their own.

The longer body with the bridge closer to the center of the lower bout delivers an open, airy tone with smoothness and warmth not typically found in modern 14-fret dreadnoughts. Whether flatpicked or played fingerstyle, these guitars have lots of headroom and the wide dynamic range invites everything from mellow accompaniment to biting leads.
