Collings D2H - USA 2011

Here is a Collings D2H dreadnought, a beautifully built USA acoustic that represents one of the finest interpretations of the modern square-shouldered dreadnought, known for its power, clarity, and boutique-level craftsmanship. It presents in excellent condition overall, showing only very light signs of use with minimal cosmetic wear and no structural concerns. It comes complete with its original Collings hard-shell case.

This example features a solid rosewood back and sides paired with a spruce top, delivering a bold, balanced dreadnought voice with deep, controlled low end, rich harmonic overtones, and exceptional clarity across the midrange and highs. The tone is powerful yet articulate, making it ideal for both vocal accompaniment and bluegrass flatpicking where projection and note separation are essential.

This example features a modified V neck profile that sits comfortably in the hand, offering a responsive and familiar feel suited to both rhythmic strumming and more intricate flatpicking styles. The body design provides strong projection and sustain, with Collings’ signature tonal clarity adding definition even at higher volumes.

This example features an aftermarket K&K pickup system, capturing the guitar’s natural acoustic voice with excellent transparency and making it well suited for live performance and recording applications.

Playability is excellent, with a comfortable setup and a lively, responsive feel across the entire neck. There is light early fretwear present, but plenty of life remains and it does not affect performance.

Condition is excellent with only very light signs of use and everything functioning as it should. A powerful and refined modern dreadnought that delivers outstanding tone, exceptional build quality, and professional-level performance capability. Comes with the original Collings OHSC.
