thanks glen. i owned a d2h for the summer but i had to sell it for travel money...now i'm re-habbing a 1916 maurer...but someday i will have another collings. i used the d2h for a lot of recording. fantastic sound and the best all around guitar i ever owned.

awesome but it needs a cut out for hard core pick'n

This is a great guitar!

I definitely agree and thank you.

I've enjoyed mine so much. Saw Tom Russell play right up and front,center....and knew right away I was going to own a Collings!
