This isn't a review it's an advertisement.
Does anyone know what song he is playing?
Collings imho" has surpassed Martin. I feel like the earth is going to crack writing this comment. Dont get me wrong. Who doesn't love Martin….maybe Taylor ha
Great demo and real easy to hear – it has been an educational pleasure – thank you and bravo.
OH MAN, I thought I knew what guitar I wanted, but the extra 1-2k sounds so, so worth it…
To each his own of course, but to me the Collings 12 Frets just sound too muddy. I'd much rather hear a Taylor or Martin in the 12 fret style. More crisp and clear…
I love my Taylor 522 12 fret Hog, but if I was going to step up, that is the step I'd make.
handmade like Collings have to be viewed as works of art and sound. there are precious few of them ; and considering the amount of time, talent , materials , equipment , that goes into the finished build , Luthier's like Collings can be considered for the most part , highly underpaid Artisans ! $4-5K really is a steal !!

You should try making a guitar from scratch.. Aside from the investment in tools and materials, when you're 10 hours into the finish [countless hours into the project] you begin to wonder "how the hell can luthiers afford to sell hand-built instruments for only $4000?" ..and then you remember you need to spend at least 5 hours leveling, crowning, and polishing the frets until they look as smooth as mercury.
I haven't made any acoustics yet. Making a perfect electric from raw lumber is enough of a challenge for me right now.
Gorgeous guitar and superb playing. Just curious if anyone knows the name of the blues style James is playing? Delta, Piedmont …?
worth every penny! best acoustics on da Planet!!!!
love my Collings
Sound pretty sweet to me especially for an "0" size guitar. I have a great sounding Martin 0-17 from 1912 and this one sound a little more full and balanced.
Love those Collings!
Fucking over $4000 for that fucking guitar?!?! Is there any lube for that ass fucking?? How to you justify that price?? Answer is you can't. Fuuuck Collings!
