Named after the well-loved Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, Kansas, the Collings Winfield is a modified version of our standard dreadnought that features options commonly requested by flatpicking specialists. The combination of an Adirondack spruce top and bracing with enlarged soundhole, supported by a top bracing pattern based on the earliest 14-fret dreadnoughts, make the CW a bluegrass powerhouse.

Everything about this model is designed to provide plenty of headroom and projection for aggressive playing while maintaining the signature Collings tone.  Standout aesthetic features, such as a dalmatian pickguard and no fingerboard inlays, also make it instantly recognizable.

CW Mahogany A vs CW Indian A

While both models share the same body dimensions, key differences are outlined below.

  • Our CW Mahogany A features Honduran mahogany back and sides, a tortoise-bound body and fingerboard, and a walnut backstrip.
  • Our CW Indian A features East Indian rosewood back and sides, grained ivoroid body and fingerboard binding, herringbone top purfling, and a “zipper” backstrip.
