2025 Collings D1 A Hill Country
$8,200.00
This 2025 Collings D1 A Hill Country brings together the traditional character of a slope-shouldered dreadnought and the precision craftsmanship that has made Collings one of the most respected names in contemporary acoustic guitars.
Built with an Adirondack spruce top and Honduran mahogany back and sides, the Hill Country designation reflects a distinctive, vintage-inspired approach to dreadnought construction. The bracing and voicing are designed to deliver a dry, woody character with strong fundamental notes, a full low end, and excellent projection. Distinctive appointments, including hand-poured tortoise details and a rear-stamped headstock logo, set it apart visually, while its responsive, powerful voice makes it equally suited to flatpicking, driving rhythm, and expressive acoustic playing.
For players looking for a modern-built acoustic with traditional roots, excellent dynamic response, and the versatility to move comfortably between intimate playing and a full ensemble, the D1 A Hill Country is a compelling choice.
At Bennett Instruments, we appreciate instruments that balance thoughtful construction with genuine musical utility. This Collings is a fine example of that balance.
