Collings D2H — 1999, Sitka Spruce & Indian RosewoodFew guitars need less introduction than a Collings D2H, and this 1999 example is a textbook reminder of why. Built during the era many collectors now call Collings' golden run, it pairs a Sitka spruce top with Indian rosewood back and sides — a classic, D-28-influenced voicing with the clarity and headroom Collings is known for.Now over 25 years old, this one's in genuinely excellent condition for its age, with the tone to match: shimmering trebles, a articulate midrange, and a low end with real depth without ever turning boomy. It comes complete with its original Collings-branded hardshell case.The specs:Model: Collings D2HYear: 1999 — Serial No. 4995Body: DreadnoughtTop: Sitka spruceBack & Sides: Indian rosewoodNeck: MahoganyFretboard & Bridge: EbonyTuners: Nickel WaverlyDecoration: Herringbone purfling, Brazilian rosewood headstock overlayNut Width: 1¾"Scale Length: 25 9/16"String Spacing: 2 3/16"Case: Original Collings hardshell case (used, one buckle missing)Other: Metal strap buttons fittedCondition: Very good — honest player wear consistent with age, as shown in the photos, nothing that gets in the way of that big Collings dreadnought voice.'90s Collings dreads like this have quietly built a cult following over the last few years, with plenty of players and collectors calling this exact window — pre-2000s, hand-built in small numbers — the high point of the brand's history. They don't come up often, and they don't hang around long when they do.
