Here's a brand new Collings D2H. This guitar has some particularly beautiful east Indian rosewood on the back and sides, and is customized with a 1 3/4 nut. I'll let Collings describe it: "The square-shouldered 14-fret dreadnought is the most popular steel-string acoustic guitar body shape in the world. While Collings is certainly not the [...]
Here's a new Collings I-30 LC in a great iced tea burst. Wonderful guitars, light as feathers, with true hollow construction and trestle bracing. C shape neck profile. Same size as the venerable I-35 -- slightly smaller and more comfortable than an ES-335. They just don’t get any better. Lifetime warranty from Collings and a [...]

*** ON HOLD *** I’ve been lucky enough to play some very fine electric guitars, but in my mind there isn’t a finer semi-hollow guitar out there than the Collings I-35. The I-35 LC uses high quality laminate construction to faithfully reproduce the vintage tone of the original Gibsons. An outstanding guitar, with figured top [...]
Here's Colling’s venerable 290 with the classic vintage TV yellow finish with tortoise pickguard and truss rod cover. This is a dual cutaway example with two Lollar P-90s and a Schaller wraparound tailpiece. Collings calls this guitar a modern-day tribute to the original workingman’s rock ‘n roll guitar. You’ll just call it a great guitar. Solid select mahogany body [...]
Here’s a gently used Collings CJ-35, with a sunburst finish. Piano-like tone is perhaps an overused term but it definitely applies here … deep bass that you can feel, sparkling highs, superb guitar. With Collings TKL case. I’ll let Collings describe it: The pre-war era of American flattop guitar making has come to be known [...]

Finished in a gorgeous iced tea sunburst. Ebony [...]

Sporting a German spruce top, with figured mahogany back and sides, and a 1 3/4 nut, [...]
