This is a remarkable looking and sounding Collings guitar from the time when Bill Collings was still alive and influencing every guitar that came out of the shop. To duplicate the features on this guitar today would be around $10,000. She is in near new condition and has been very well cared for. The current owner, a very nice client of mine, purchased the guitar new in Texas. She is a one owner guitar.
The guitar plays like a dream and has a great voice, with plenty of volume, I would say between that of an OM and a Dread perhaps, crisp basses, nice mids, and shimmery trebles.
I like this guitar a lot and it doesn’t hurt that she is just beautiful to look at, from the nicely figured Koa wood upgrade, to the nice Gold Schaller mini-tuners and the Mother of pearl fret markers, just a great looking guitar.
A full list of details and features is available upon request, and the guitar comes in a custom Collings TKL case and includes a letter signed by Bill Collings himself to the current owner.
