Collings D2H A
$7,150.00An Adirondack Spruce top supercharges this square-shouldered 14-fret dreadnought, the most popular steel-string acoustic guitar body shape in the world. Collings brings 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 renowned by bluegrass flatpickers who must compete with inherently louder instruments such as banjos and fiddles. A hard shell case is included.
Collings CW Indian A
$7,600.00This CW Series dreadnought is designed for maximum power and volume. It features an Adirondack top and bracing, no tongue brace, an enlarged soundhole and Indian Rosewood back and sides.

Named after the well-loved Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, Kansas, the Collings Winfield is a highly modified version of our standard dreadnought that features options commonly requested by flatpicking specialists. The combination of the stiff Adirondack spruce top with enlarged soundhole, supported by a top bracing pattern based on the earliest 14-fret dreadnoughts, make the CW a bluegrass powerhouse. Everything about this model is designed to provide plenty of headroom and projection for aggressive playing, but not at the expense of good tone. With hard shell case.

$11,999.00$9,599.00The Presentation Series features an ever-changing selection of premium tonewoods, and for this Grand Auditorium PS14ce, we've opted for a gorgeous set of Honduran rosewood paired with sinker redwood for the top.

The redwood top—sourced from logs submerged in California riverbeds—adds cedar-like warmth and touch sensitivity along with a high volume ceiling that's great for aggressive players. A radius-style armrest enhances the PS14ce's playing comfort, and a striking set of appointments includes a Simons back wedge with an ebony backstrap and binding, paua edge trim and super-precise Gotoh 510 tuners.

Whether I’m soloing up the neck, playing slide or just strumming chords, this guitar sounds sweet and full. Thanks Santa Cruz, you really nailed it.”- Billy Nershi
