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, we bring a new tonal clarity to the depth and warmth usually associated with such a large, deep-bodied guitar.

This one features a Adirondack spruce top upgrade which gives it very desirable tonal aspects more often found on high end Dreads of the pre war era. This one is surprisingly open out of the box.

This is a brand New instrument and comes with factory warranty and hard shell case.
