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.

Some discussion about it here:

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.

I'm just an ignorant asshole, I suppose.  I've never seen one in a store, I don't recall seeing anyone playing one.  Hell, I've never noticed one on Reverb for that matter.  

But, I agree that they look fantastic.

Collings are like a restaurant with no website and no sign and off the beaten path and no prices on the menu, the dining room has five tables, and the food is incredible and you only know about due to word of mouth.

Holy cow.  I bid on some of Les Paul's sound panels back during the LP auction.  Looks like I lost out to Joe Walsh.  No wonder I couldn't compete.  

 

If I knew his size, I'd bid on some of his 70's stage wear.

Click on whatever you like and find out. The sizes are there.

The Texas jersey is a find.

i have no idea if it is just early days or something but if those bassman amps stay where they are, i would fully expect @dcbc to start making his moves.

They will not.  If it's anything like the Les Paul auction, they will go for amounts that do not reflect the reality of what they are.  Rather, they will go sky high for the opportunity to twist the same knobs as their hero Joe.  I'm going to sign up anyhow though.  Where there's life, there's hope.

The 1968 drip edge AB165 is intriguing but already is at the top of what I'd ever want to pay for it.  But I'm eyeballing that hat and those flared pants. ;) 

 

/signed 5'10" and definitely chubby

/5'10" and chubby should be the new Surly motto

What's it at right now? I haven't looked in a couple days. I'm honestly going to make a run at some of the clothes.
