Collings

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 accociated 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. The wide range of woods and neck sizes offered allow dreadnought fans to find a Collings model ideally suited to their playing style and tonal preference. – From the Collings Website

 The addition of an Old Growth Sitka top on the classic D2H chassis adds another sonic dimension to an already classic sound.  Much like the baking or torrification process to pre-age new wood, old growth wood can achieve a similar open character. We have noticed a warmer, fuller sound than a standard Sitka top, with more openness, headroom, and direct qualities.
