| My latest guitar, a Collings CJ (Bill Collings' take on the Gibson J45). Sitka top, East Indian Rosewood back and sides, Honduran Mahogany neck, ebony bridge, fretboard and bridge pins, double-bound (cross-cut ivoroid) neck & peghead, Braz peghead facing, 1-3/4" bone nut and bone saddle, nickel open Waverly tuners with butterbean buttons. This thing sings!

| Thanks, everybody. These are truly spectacular guitars - build quality, materials, and most of all tone, tone and more tone. Dynamics are superb, with complex harmonics and incredible sustain. This model - in this wood combination - is a bit "darker" than some others, but that suits my playing style. The only guitar I've ever played that sounds better is a Merrill. |

Gotta admit, there's a part of me that has the fear that if I get a guitar like that, I'd sell all my Ovations. |

| Paul - it's a different sound, but I'm not giving up any of my O's or A's. They all have their own personality, and it'd be like saying which one is a favorite child. |
