2012 Collings DS2H – £3999

Nov 11, 2026 | Others

NEW ARRIVAL  Hand made by Collings in Texas, the DS2H is the original 12 fret dreadnought shape, that was first an oversized Hawaiian guitar over a century ago. It has a Sitka Spruce top and Indian Rosewood back and sides, with scallop bracing, a slot headstock, and features an Ebony fretboard and bridge, plus Waverley tuners. Tonally it’s fantastic, the longer body with bridge closer to the soundhole, gives a more open tone with an airy bass, not found on a 14 fret model. The Rosewood back and sides give a real dynamism to the tone, while the Spruce top allows the sound to cut through any mix. The herringbone trim and Abalone fingerboard inlays add a touch of class, as well as a nod to the prewar era. All in all it’s a powerhouse of a guitar, in very good condition, and is a joy to play. It comes in its original deluxe hard case.
