1998 Collings DS2H "Slope Shoulder" Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar
Spruce top, Indian Rosewood back & sides
Spruce top, Indian Rosewood back & sides
It's used but in mint condition.
Here is the description from the Collings website:
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.
