Featuring a 12-fret body, this new addition to the Hill Country line delivers a comfortable, big sounding guitar, with a vintage appeal that flatpickers are going to love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe got to spend some time with a prototype build this past fall and this production DS1A HC is every bit as good as we remember that guitar being. Bold and articulate with a strong fundamental and few overtones make this such a responsive cannon that can handle everything from Norman Blake fiddle tunes to the most free-flowing jam grass, while feeling effortless to play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hill Country line of guitars delivers a vintage-voiced build, with the same quality and attention to detail that has always been synonymous with Collings, in warmer, dry, and focused guitar. Here with an Adirondack spruce top, paired with Mahogany back and sides, this Dreadnought features hand-poured tortoise appointments, new bracing and top\/back voicings, and a stamped Collings logo on the back of the headstock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe control, and power that comes from this line of Collings guitars rivals any sort of vintage-inspired build out there and we're thrilled to have them here in the shop. Includes a free Mass Street setup from our crew of luthiers along with the original hardshell case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: 12-Fret Dreadnought\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop: Adirondack spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack \u0026amp; Sides: Honduran mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: Hill Country Build and Voicing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck: Honduran mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Binding: Tortoise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Binding: Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeghead Binding: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: Ebony belly-style with 2 5\/16\" spacing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard: Ebony with gold MOP dots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Radius: 14\" - 26\" compound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Pins\/End Pin: Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut: Aged bone, 1 3\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaddle: Aged bone, cutthrough\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Profile: DS Hill Country\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeghead Profile: Tapered slotted square with volute\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Joint: Mortise \u0026amp; tenon hybrid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTruss Rod: Fully adjustable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrets: Medium 18% nickel-silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeghead Veneer: Ebony with no Collings Logo on front and stamped logo on back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuners: Relic Nickel Waverly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBackstrip: 1-style (walnut)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRosette: Hand-poured ring from matching pickguard set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 25 1\/2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrace Material: Sitka spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrace Pattern: Hill Country scalloped X-brace (abbreviated soundboard graft (tongue brace))\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Finish: High gloss ultra-thin nitrocellulose lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Finish: High gloss ultra-thin nitrocellulose lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: Hand-poured tortoise w\/ matching rosette ring, wedge, and heel cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrings: D'Addario EJ-17 (.013\"- .056\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase: Deluxe hardshell case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSerial# 36294\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Collings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48570896122075,"sku":"DS1AHC-12FretNat-36533","price":9750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0202\/0250\/files\/DS1-A-HC-12Fret-36533-frontclose_b2c6e98e-7760-47da-ba99-2ae727cca4d6.jpg?v=1775499263","url":"https:\/\/massstreetmusic.com\/products\/collings-guitars-ds1a-hill-country-natural-12-fret-dreadnought","provider":"Mass Street Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
