I should really like that but I don't. I tried a few Collings electrics at NAMM last year and they seemed fairly sterile.

for the money I'd try one before a new LP standard, though.

With that wood grain that color is almost a crime. Something that allows the real wood to come through, or at least a light shade would be much better.

But I don't mind the body shape and given the Collings pedigree I'd love to try one out.

I really like the finish...stained black, then light grain filler under the gloss...really different and cool...

...a winner for christmas eve howie...

 

[Gary Blanchard]

I have mixed feelings about that one. It actually reminds me of the old Silvertone guitar a friend of mine had. God, I loved that guitar.
