Location: Scotland | Early 45-style torch and snowflakes neck on a D28 body. Killer! I had a 12-fret triple-O like this years ago. Another guitar that I should never have sold. |

Dave bought the CW-28Bs/b
I may have to have Debanjo go look at this one if it's got a wide neck unless someone else buys it first. |

Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | Grain looks matched to me and the description claims that it matches. Not sure which pics you are looking at?
Anyway, guess we will find out next week. |

Location: CT | The sides of the top match each other, but I thought the better quality spruce had tight grain consistent throuout. This one's tight on the edge, then the grains get wider, then they tighten up again. Is that normal? My C.L. has pretty much the same width between all the grains. |

Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | Thanks guys. I did the BIN to get the ebay auction closed, feedback, etc., but actually had a nice talk with the former owner and we came to an "agreement" on the actual price. |

When I decided to downsize I went with the philosophy of fewer guitars but higher quality and variance of sound. The Tak, Martin, and Adamas are all wonderful guitars that sound different. I have a feeling the Collings is gonna fit right in the :cool: crowd.
Once I find and add a Lowden, I think I will be finished for a while ;) . |

I would have liked it a little lighter but Bill doesn't make many of these and this has a nice wide neck and this was an early one hand built by him. I should get it next week. |
