Collings

This D1A features Adirondack Spruce braces, a 1 3/4" nut width, and a gorgeous sunburst finish. 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.

This OM2H features Collings' "Deep Body". With its deeper body depth, it sounds bigger, bolder, and deeper than a traditional OM. It's a stunning sound! It also features Adriondack Spruce braces, and 1 3/4" nut width.

  This Collings OM-1 features an all-Honduran-Mahogany top, back, and sides construction; for a gorgeously warm and vibrant tone.
  ‘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 a balanced tone and immediate response.

Upgraded with a Torrefied Sitka Spruce top.

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.
