  This Thompson D-MA features an Adirondack Spruce Top, Adirondack braces, and Sunburst Top.
  Preston Thompson Dreadnought models are all crafted to produce the tone and volume that the dreadnought guitar was originally designed to achieve. These are powerful instruments that, when needed, stand up to the volume of a mandolin, fiddle and banjo. They have the bass response that provides an almost full orchestral backing to vocals. Their mid-range response and bright trebles take flatpicking and lead playing to new levels of achievement.
  These are traditional instruments and all models are based on the famous 1937 Herringbone Dreadnought, owned by the late, great Charles Sawtelle of the award winning bluegrass band, Hot Rize. All feature Red spruce (Adirondack) tops chosen for tap tone and stiffness, advanced X brace placement, hand graduated top thickness, pre-war hand carved scalloped braces, nitro-cellulose lacquer finishes and time tested design features such as dovetail neck joints.

  Here is a near-mint 2024 Collings D1AT with an Adirondack top that looks, feels, and sounds phenomenal.

A strap button has been added at the neck heel, and it comes with the original hardshell case and papers.
  This is the classic dreadnought done the Collings way —extremely loud, powerful, balanced, and clear. The square-shouldered 14-fret dreadnought is the most popular steel-string acoustic guitar shape in the world, and while many builders make them, Collings brings unmatched tonal clarity and refinement to the big-bodied design. Its strong bass response makes it perfect for vocal accompaniment, while its articulate projection makes it a favorite of bluegrass flatpickers who need to cut through banjos and fiddles.

  This OM1 SB has been upgraded with Ivoroid Binding, Adriondack Braces, and beautiful Western Shaded Top.
  "OM" stands for "Orchestra Model," but 80 years after this body shape was first designed it has become the most popular 14-fret model with fingerstyle guitar soloists who choose to play on steel strings. Yet flatpickers also find it appealing, and when the graceful cutaway is added these OMs are often used by lead players who routinely explore all 20 frets much as they would on an electric guitar. The compact shape makes the Collings OM equally easy to handle onstage or when sitting on the couch, and the relatively shallow body (barely over 4 inches deep) results in balanced tone and an immediate response.

  Drawing inspiration from the elegant body styles of the Depression era, The Touchstone Standard captures a sense of authenticity and vintage charm. This timeless design and spirit is beautifully evoked with Bourgeois' classic slope-shoulder dreadnought. Elegant throwback appointments make it a true homage to tradition.
  The Standard's torrefied Sitka spruce soundboard delivers a warm, aged tone right out of the box, with dynamic response and clarity that only deepens over time. A sound that is as versatile as it is rich—perfect for strumming, fingerpicking, and everything in between.
  Paired with mahogany back and sides, the result is a balanced, versatile voice perfect for everything from gentle fingerpicking to robust strumming.

  The square-shouldered, 14-fret dreadnought is the poster boy of acoustic guitar body shapes. It's classic, but above all, practical. While Collings is certainly not the only company to build them, they bring a new tonal clarity to the depth and warmth usually associated with such a large, deep-bodied guitar.
  Although its bass response makes the dreadnought ideal for vocal accompaniment, Collings versions are also often employed by bluegrass flatpickers who must compete with inherently louder instruments such as banjos and fiddles. Simply put, the Collings D1 will get the job done, and with grace and humility.
