  Upgraded with Torrefied Sitka Spruce top, Adirondack Spruce Braces, and 1 3/4" nut width.
  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.

The Jumbo, or CJ, is Colling's version of the classic slope-shouldered dreadnought, a shape that has enjoyed renewed popularity in recent years. While the CJ is similar in width and depth to the traditional dreadnought, it has a distinctly different tone. CJ’s voice is deep and full-bodied, maximizing cut and power with a shimmery top end and quick response.

From Taylor's "Catch" event at the 2025 NAMM show, featuring a stunning array of custom models.
This C24ce features a versatile, accommodating cutaway Grand Auditorium body crafted with back, sides and top of beautifully variegated ribbon mahogany, this custom model produces a woody acoustic voice and a captivating visual aesthetic. Rich midrange tones with a strong fundamental focus and minimal overtones are complemented by the warmth and natural compression of the mahogany soundboard, while our innovative V-Class voicing architecture produces louder volume, longer sustain and improved harmony all the way up the neck. The gloss-finished body and satin-sheen mahogany neck and peghead boast a dusky, hand-sprayed shaded edgeburst color treatment. Other standout visual details include Island Vine fretboard and peghead inlays in Hawaiian koa and maple, a Hard Rock maple peghead logo, black body binding, a single-ring black/maple rosette, and a firestripe pickguard. Outfitted with satin black tuners and ES2 electronics, this inspiring custom build ships in a brown deluxe hardshell case.

  This OM2H features a Torrefied Sitka Spruce top, Indian Rosewood back and sides, Adirondack Spruce braces, and a 1 3/4" nut width.
  '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. 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.

Larrivee's Traditional Series was created with two things in mind: Create an instrument with traditional 'vintage' features like a flat-top headstock, hand-carved volute, and diamond inlays; but at the same time maintain the unique tonal balance of the standard Larrivée symmetrical parabolic bracing system. An enlarged soundhole allows significantly greater mid-range punch, emphasizing the low end, and increasing overall volume. This 50 Series features Larrivee's highest grade mahogany, herringbone trim, and traditional angled bone nut. The casted bronze open-back tuners feature engraved design work by Wendy Larrivee. One of the many fine details that put this series in a category of their own.

Salvaged from the ancient Koa forests of the Big Island of Hawaii, the Hawaiian Country Boy’s Koa backs and sides sound as good as they look, offering a rich midrange and a touch of island warmth that will deepen over time. Dana Bourgeois has personally selected each old-growth Bearclaw Sitka Spruce top in this series. Chosen for their bright and responsive tap tones, each one was hand-voiced at Dana’s small workshop in Maine. By combining the warmth of Island Koa with the sparkle of winter spruce, the Touchstone Hawaiian Country Boy has been designed to respond equally well to delicate fingerpicking and lively strumming.
