Location: 6 String Ranch		I had an all koa one I sold and I really wish I hadn't. It had a small neck and I should have had them just make a new neck.

The OM I have on order has the German Spruce top. Didn't even think about Koa for the back/sides at the time but it would have been nice!

This is a beautiful Collings!

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains		I give up. Just when I think everybody is finished sorting out their collections, you all post an update on the custom guitars you're having built. Hasn't anybody updated you people on the economy?

Takes 6-12 months to build which gives you plenty of time to send a little money each month so that when complete it is paid for.

Kinda like "interest free"..."12 months same as cash", etc.

Location: East Tennessee		The OM body with a 1 3/4" neck is a great combination.

I believe that is why the members that own a UTE are so happy.
