Here is a very clean Collings DS2H from 2010. The DS2H is patterned after the original dreadnought design, which was built by C. F. Martin for the Oliver Ditson company, starting around 1916.
This Collings DS2H features a Stika Spruce top, Indian Rosewood back, sides and headplate, and ebony for the fingerboard and bridge. The top is bound with herringbone purfling and the back features a herringbone center strip. The binding is grained ivoroid. The scale length is 25.5 inches and the nut width is 1 13/16th inches, and Waverly tuners are installed. The neck features a slotted peghead and joins the body at the twelfth fret.
Everything about this instrument is top quality – the fit and finish are impeccable and the sound is awe-inspiring.
As a 2010 model, this example is in excellent condition with very little wear. It sounds great now – being played in more will just improve it.
