About this guitar
Collings’ D1 A Hill Country is Collings’ square-shouldered 14-fret dreadnought, the most common steel-string acoustic body shape, built here with extra tonal clarity. This model pairs an Adirondack spruce top with Honduran mahogany back and sides. Built in Collings’ Hill Country voicing, which shifts the tonal balance toward a warmer, fuller fundamental than the standard or Traditional lines.
