The classic Dreadnought, featuring an Adirondack Spruce top! The square-shouldered 14-fret dreadnought is the most popular steel-string acoustic guitar body shape in the world. 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.

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

"When we string up an OM it's hard to distinguish from the Traditional Dreadnought"
-Goodall Guitars

The Orchestra Model is a greatly favored shape amongst Goodall's Traditional lineup. It features a smaller, more comfortable to hold body size than the popular dreadnought body shape. Its tone is extremely powerful in the bass and midrange, with an emphasis on a broad warmth without lacking treble. All of Goodall's Traditional series models features a custom, partially scalloped bracing pattern which produces a bit more 'boominess' in the bass and midrange. The peghead and bridge have been redesigned for a more conservative visual appeal, with open gear Waverly tuning machines contributing to its charm. It is attractively arrayed with a herringbone marquetry rosette and top purfling, and a chevron marquetry backstrip. It has been designed especially with the flatpicker and the bluegrass player in mind.

A superb OM from Preston Thompson. Featuring a fantastic Red Spruce (Adirondack) top chosen for tap tone and stiffness, East Indian Rosewood back and sides, advanced X brace placement, hand graduated top thickness, pre-war hand carved scalloped braces, nitro-cellulose lacquer finish and time-tested design features such as dovetail neck joint. Upgraded with a beautiful Regency Torch headstock inlay.

Featuring an Adirondack Spruce top, and Rosewood Back & Sides. From a sunny day on the back porch to a big night on stage, the smaller upper bout paired with the larger lower bout and thinner soundbox makes the OO an absolute joy to play.

Featuring Eastman's unique hand-rubbed Antique Varnish finish. From a sunny day on the back porch to a big night on stage, the smaller upper bout paired with the larger lower bout and thinner soundbox makes the OO an absolute joy to play.

Featuring a solid Adirondack Spruce top, and solid Mahohany back and sides. The Orchestra name was given to this model in 1929 in an attempt to entice guitarists in dance orchestras to pick one up and take it to a gig. In more recent years, it has become a go-to instrument for finger pickers, due to its sensitive dynamic profile and subtle tonal properties. It provides a more carefully sculpted sound than a big bodied acoustic.

This E10D features a Thermo-Cured Adirondack Spruce top and Mahogany Back & Sides. The iconic shape of the Dreadnought is synonymous with acoustic guitars in general. Big and bold, these cannons are perfect for ensemble settings where the guitar competes for sonic space with other instruments or accompanying strong singers. The Dreadnought is the classic flat-picking bluegrass instrument.
