My wife got me a 2007 Collector's for Christmas. I knew she got it for me. My daughter was very upset when she caught me "inspecting it for damage" before Christmas. So, on Christmas morning, when I opened the case this is what I saw...



I was really surprised, it took a few second for my brain to figure out what I was seeing...





There was actually a 2007 Collector's around somewhere...



My son enjoyed shredding on the uke once he saw it could be plugged in...




I dropped in an idea preamp, I'll let you know how that works out. Thanks Al!

Classic. We want to hear some shredding on the uke (and some blues on the 07C).

I've been playing the 07 collector's a lot. It's a really nice guitar. Big booming bass, but very even sounding. Very nice addition.

My wife likes the sound better than the 47 RI. Not sure about that, I haven't played it since I got this one...

Nice looking 07BCS Steve. A lot more visible claw marks than mine. I like mine a lot and you're going to like it more and more the more you play it.

lady stonebobbo would agree with your wife. We did a sound comparison of the same song played on a wide range of my guitars ... she picked the 07 over all of them, including an OFC Ding!-O. The OFC didn't even come in second (or even third). :cool:
