Location: Sydney, Australia | Cool! That means I might get a go! Keep Muzz away from that, broccoli does strange things to him. I'm beginning to think he had a bad experience with broccoli as a child. You know, it starts off like "Eat that or you can't have any dessert" then escalates and gets nasty. We may be judging him too harshly, it could all be a childhood trauma.

Location: Maine | As others have mentioned, I too like the later and style cutaway shape. Jerome mentioned liking the prototypes. Notice this cobalt blue one and Jeromes have the KMC Group label.( I really prefer this blue over the typicial "eye Shadow" blue.)
Looking at the pics in Jeromes link it appears that you can see the cut away protion that was grafted into a typical fiberglass body. That's the stuff thats cool to me as well. I also have a slightly later 1587-5 KMC Group proto cutaway w/ the new EQ in black from 1981. It also has the cut away portion grafted in. Sadly i need to send it in since a brace has come loose at its end way below the bridge, and it seems to "buzz" as a result. .. MWoody has a pic or two of this one.. maybe he can post a small pic of it faster that I can...

Location: SoCal | When I had a 1764 Country Artist (Remy, in France owns it now), it had the regular shape cutaway, but the cutaway was grafted onto the guitar. Just one of the very cool things about that guitar..... |

As of this time, it is being held waiting for a check to arrive and clear.
If something happens to change this event, the guitar will be re-posted, but I don't anticipate that occurance transpiring.
My thanks to all who sent me emails with offers and wise advice concerning this piece as well. I sincerely appreciated everyones input.
This is a wonderful forum.

Location: 6 String Ranch | I remember this guitar now and Mr Rudnick and his love for Mesa Boogie Amps. Yes this is one of the real early cutaway protos and it has the Molly Hachet dark blue that was only used on a very select few instruments. |

This wasn't the kind of visit where you lust over someone elses guitar. Because every freeking one there was amazing. I've actually never seen anything like it, a collection of people sitting around playing and every damn guitar was just simply stunning.
Instead of coming home with a "wish list", I think we all came home with an appreciation of how damn lucky we are to be able to own these things and how fortunate to be able to attend such a gathering.

Location: SoCal | Dave, are you talking about the guitars that you guys all brought, or the guitars at the Collings factory? Or was it a large group of people taking the tour who hung out together (like us at the hotel in CT)? |

Location: 6 String Ranch | Bought nothing but sold two, actually placed them on consignment. A D42BaaaA that will go for around 11 and a 17"archtop that will go for 12-13.
What Dave said is true, every one was a great guitar, even the basic D1s. More than 50% were sunburst too. |

Didn't matter, they all honked. Group was smaller than the 1st OFC gathering. Maybe 20 people. Most stayed at the same inn and lots of just sitting around playing, drinking, laughing and just hanging out. You know, how we usually do it.
