Collings may not be the only company crafting square-shouldered 14-fret dreadnoughts, but they distinguish their version by achieving tonal clarity within the deep, warm sound typically associated with this large-bodied guitar. The D2H is built with carefully selected East Indian rosewood for the back and sides, a high-quality Adirondack spruce top, and a Honduran mahogany neck. This combination produces impressive volume while maintaining a balanced tone. The forward-shifted scalloped bracing under the Adirondack spruce top enhances the resonance, allowing the rich tones of the rosewood and spruce to fully resonate. While its robust bass response makes the D2H perfect for vocal accompaniment, it's also favored by bluegrass flat pickers who need to hold their own against louder instruments like banjos and fiddles. As the saying goes, put a Collings in your guitarist's hands, and they will be heard.
