I am comparing the 2005 Collectors against the new 1777lx legend. The 2005 is new. Is the collector considered an upgrad over the lengend?

The 05 has a contour bowl and englemann top, the 1777LX has a non-contour mid-depth bowl and a sitka top. Both are LX spec and have the same electronics so apart from the above and a few minor cosmetic details there's not a lot between them on paper. Your ears and hands might say different.

The 05 Collectors is also the first one to come out with the deep contour bowl.

To me the Collectors is much finer. In addition to the contour bowl, the rosette is very tasteful. But how is the tone unplugged?

I live the 2005 Collector. Definately a few steps up in my book from a Legend.
