Collings Hill Country OM1 A HC
The Hill Country series (“HC”) offers a distinct acoustic experience with a warm, woody tone and a strong fundamental voice, pushed to the far end of the tonal spectrum. Known for its dry character and full low end, it’s a natural fit for bluegrass but versatile enough for a wide range of styles. Each HC model features an Adirondack spruce top, hand-poured pickguard, rosette ring, wedge, and heel cap, along with a stamped Collings logo on the back of the peghead. Built with additional voicing stages and limited custom options, the Hill Country series delivers both refined tone and unique craftsmanship.
