CW-28
I'm an Ovation fan, Takamine fan, Martin fan, ... but folks ask me bar-none what's THE best sounding guitar I have ever owned and without hesitation it's the COLLINGS CW-28. There's some other guitars of this "type" called Clarance White, and other LSH models. But THIS is the real mc coy (expect for Clarances original one now owned by Tony Rice). The Collings CW-28 is a pretty rare bird, I don't know maybe a few hundred or so (only 8 sunbursts). It'll be real interesting to see if this guy gets his price. It's certainly worth every penny of it in my book.

I am still watching and thinking about the sunburst Dave posted up a few weeks ago (now relisted). Not sure if the price is good or not but the seller won't budge despite several offers (none mine).
Bill, do you know anything about the sunburst one (comparable models you may own or have played)? |
