I have seen them before Keenan. The guy I bought my C25 from needed the money to get one. (the reason for his sale) He e-mailed me about another guitar I had
shortly after. I asked how he liked the Collings, or what happened, but thus far, no reply. I'm certain MNM has these in stock.........never played one.

I'm with you Keenan. I get to play a Collings dred once in a while, and it is one of the loudest guitars I have ever played. I also have been GASsing
really badly over one of the OM's. I almost bought one once, and walked away from it. stupid,Stupid, STUPID!!!

Collings are beautifully-constructed guitars. I'm amazed at the consistent level of quality that Bill C. gets out of his guitars. Most of the ones I've
played have sounded very "tight" to me, with a lot of harshness in the trebles. I've read comments that they are more heavily built than other
guitar, but I have no idea if this is true.

My particular fav. Collings in the C10 deluxe with the adir. top. It is a real blues machine and I believe was fashioned after the L-00 Gibson but I could be
making that up.

My favorite store had quite a few Collins in stock my last visit. They are GAS machines to be sure. Read a quote from Bob Taylor something along the lines of
not being able to buy a better built guitar than a Collins but my memory might be playing tricks on me.

The collings stuff is great, but I like their electrics.
I want one of these: http://www.collingsguitars.com/Instruments/?ID=38 Sorry, couldn't figure out how to make a link.

The place in Seattle that carries a lot of Collings guitars is Dusty Strings. When ever I am there I always pick up at least one Collings to play for a while.
However, I have never seen one of the electrics there at all. Sure is a pretty electric guitar.
