Location: NJ | WHY lose a couple of bowl-backed guitars to buy yet ANOTHER box???
You got PLENTY of Martins, and that Collings (and I've played it numerous times) "out-Martin's" the best of 'em . . .
Bill;
You should've slapped a GlayneCampbell truss rod cover on it, and he'd have been all OVER it!!! |

And this IS the Ovation Fan Club.
[Hey, I wonder if I can get good deals on Ovations at the Martin Fan Club?] |

Location: Tennessee | Jeez ... this always happens to us Californians. We go to the polls to vote, and find out the election has already been decided. FWIW Dave, I voted for you to get it. It's very easy to spend OPM. Outside of the Merrill (notwithstanding the worm guts), definitely the best sounding guitar there. |

Hey Tupp, just exactly what is that new model you're getting yourself into? I can't tell from the pic. |

Location: 6 String Ranch | A 1995 CW-28 sunburst. This is one of the pre-cnc Collings(not that that means ANYTHING, but the stove knitters think it does). They made around 250-300 but only 8 sunbursts. Since they went to cnc or around s/n 4000ish they have made this a part of the line but the S-Ks say they ain't as good as the old ones.
There's a guy named David Dugan who has a whole web site devoted to this model. I'll post it if I can find it. It's a beautiful guitar, it's just that I'll play the Merrill instead and Dave needs another guitar anyway. |

She doesn't ask the price of what's in YOUR closet.
You don't ask the price of what's in HER closet.
Clothing does not appreciate in value so anyone with half a brain would rather play a great guitar naked than spend a mint on a dress to wear nearly never. Still, you need to make a good show to keep the peace. |

Location: 6 String Ranch | After reading the story about the guitar on the web site again I can see that the the jist of what I said earlier is correct, just not the facts. Maybe I could be a politician?
Anyway, this guy is a real CW-28 homo. Interesting reading and pictures there. |
