{"product_id":"collings-ds1-a-hc","title":"Collings DS1 A HC","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe DS1 A HC is Collings' 12-fret slope shoulder dreadnought built to the Hill Country recipe: an Adirondack spruce top over Honduran mahogany back and sides, braced with Collings' Hill Country scalloped X pattern in Sitka spruce. The pickguard is hand-poured tortoise with a matching rosette ring, wedge and heel cap, and the Collings logo is stamped on the back of the peghead with nothing on the front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the neck meeting the body at the 12th fret, the bridge sits nearer the centre of the lower bout than it does on a 14-fret dreadnought. Collings describes the Hill Country voice as warm, woody and dry with a full low end, and expects bluegrass players to feel at home with it in a jam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the same Hill Country build in East Indian rosewood, look at the DS2 A HC.
