The BUT is a terrific venue.  See you there?

Maybe so. I saw a few shows there a while back when I had a condo in Del Mar. Def terrific venue.

That’s a beauty.  I was just about to buy it when I saw “local pickup only”. 
 

oh well

If you don't a-s-k, you don't g-e-t.  Always worth asking.

I've never seen one of these before. 

 

Off  to the Googles.

Never seen a Collings or that model?  Collings is a super respected Austin-area small manufacturer.  Very high end.

Saw some great guitar gear at the Jeff Tweedy show the other night.  Got my curiosity aroused (see the Concerts thread).  

First Sima Cunningham got some really nice tones out of one of these bad boys.  Essentially a scaled down ES-175 (though judging from Reverb, somehow on a par in price?).

 Then Jeff played one of these, which is just crazy to look at.

How is this even possible in this thread, much less the world?

bananas to have not heard of collings, although I suppose i'm fairly guitar obsessed. I'd describe Collings as the most prominent boutique acoustic brand, if it is still considered boutique. I'm not a historian of the brand but my understanding is that they are very high quality and mostly in the Martin tradition. I don't think I've played one, although I did try a few Waterloos (made by Collings) when I was convinced I needed a parlor.

High school band mate has a Collings single cut that is one of the most beautiful guitars I’ve ever seen. 
 

Charlie Sexton has a signature model Collings.  Pretty cool.
