Location: Phoenix AZ		For Sale: COLLINGS OM3 MAPLE w/ K&K Pure Western Pickup

Photos do not do this instrument justice. Drop dead beautiful from every angle and not a mark on it. This has been my pride and joy but just does not get the playtime it deserves. This is Collings top of the line 3 version which means it has the best of the best appointments. On top of that is added a number of custom upgrades such as the eye popping solid flamed maple back and sides and the multi-color floral headstock inlay.

Sonically this instrument is a killer. It has the typical balance of am OM sized guitar with the added punch of the maple back and sides. The beautiful AAA spruce top bound in tortoise sings like an angel. Tortoise trim all around (headstock, fretboard, body and back. Gold Waverly tuners. Bone nut and saddle. Ebony fretboard and 1-11/16 nut width. And to top it off, I've got the K&K Pure Western pickup installed tot he end pin jack. Top of the line Collings case included.

Condition is absolutely flawless.

If this wasn't very similar to my custom OM I would be seriously checking my guitar funds.
Good luck. Somebody will get a fantastic guitar if they snap this up.

Location: New Hartford CT		Beautiful guitar Standingovation - I'm still enjoying the New Htfd Guild D55 sunburst you sold to me on the forum a few years back. When Dave says flawless that is exactly was is meant.

I have about a dozen Ovations already. There is nothing wrong with having a couple of special non 'O' models in the collection. GLWS

That guitar is now a Collectors Item !!!

Funny thing ... over the long arc of time (and a lot of good fortune) the "List Of Those I Miss" has now outgrown the "List Of Those I Crave". I guess that is a good thing.

That D55 was a good investment. I think it's easily worth 30% more today. With Guild Oxford slowly just beginning to crank out some satin finish guitars, a nitro D55 has been OOP for several years now.

In fact, you could argue that guitars are holding their value better these days than the dollar! = buy more guitars.
