Location: 6 String Ranch | They have a good reputation. I played one in NC and it was nice. I think I like Collings more but they are probably different sides of the same coin. Never did an A/B test. |

gh1 recently sold one to a friend of mine and I got to sit with it for a short Time. Light, responsive and finely crafted.
Too bad that it kept sliding out of my lap... not. |

Location: PDX | As Mike pointed out, i owned an H&D CM for a time. Incredible guitar!
I own a Collings C-10 which is a very comparable small body guitar. Tone wise, to my ear, the H&D had the edge. It was better balanced and had a richer bass. The C-10 has clearer and brighter treble. Again, to my ear.
Construction -- both equally superb.
As with all guitars, there is going to be variation from guitar to guitar. But if you're going to buy it off ebay -- a H&D will reduce the risk of getting a dog.

| Thanks for the reviews.. the one I'm watching is a 2001 model, Cedar top, Koa back and sides..not too pricey, compared with the original retail.

The maple collings C10 Deluxe I just pick up has one of those K&K pickups installed in it. Very nice and natural sounding when plugged in and doesn't seem to distract from the acoustic tone at all.
Good luck with it. |

Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | WOW....I just went back and looked at it again.
The seller is gonna take a big time hit for the shipping charges. Apparently he has not sold or shipped one within the last 6 months! |
