Pre Owned 2013 Collings D2HA Adirondack Spruce and Indian Rosewood with Adirondack Braces

This Pre Owned 2013 Collings D2HA Adirondack Spruce and Indian Rosewood with Adirondack Braces is in excellent + condition with no wear to mention. It includes the original hardshell case.

The D2HA is a standard model in our shop with good reason. It has commanding presence with balanced tone, clarity and volume. The Indian Rosewood brings the guitar balance and warmth, and when coupled with Adirondack Red Spruce brings the guitar strong fundamentals, a lightning quick response, crisp trebles, and virtually unlimited headroom.

Adirondack was the legendary top wood used on most pre-war American-made guitars. Adirondack has a high stiffness across and along the grain, making it one of the go-to top woods for flat-pickers. The D2HA is a guitar you take to battle, the guitar you fight for... and fight with!

How do you make the D2HA even better? Add custom options such as Adirondace braces and removing the tongue brace. This is a powerful combination equating to a dramatic increase in power and pure tone. Adirondack Braces are lighter and stiffer than Sitka, therefore they are more responsive and offer a more efficient transfer of energy through the top.

We are a big fan of leaving the tongue brace out of these instruments. As people search for the mythical tone of old guitars, this brace comes into scrutiny. Martin added the tongue brace in 1940 and it has become standard every since.

The absence of a tongue brace frees the top to allow enhanced vibration and results in a richer, fuller, tone with more low end resonance. It is speculated that Martin added the brace to prevent top cracking, but the years have proven this to have been unnecessary and actually decreases resonance.
