The D2H VN from Collings is a beautiful square-shouldered 14-fret dreadnaught, the most popular steel-string acoustic guitar body shape in the world. 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. The D2H brings new tonal clarity, depth and warmth that is usually associated with these large body guitars.
