Beal and I both snuck in a few chord strums during the end of the tour. All I can say is that I can't wait to play it for a few months and listen to it start to open up. Here are the actual specs on it: COLLINGS OM2HCSB-G-SS-PYR SHORT SCALE * Indian rosewood back and sides * Master grade German spruce top * Ebony fingerboard and pyramid bridge * Herringbone purfling and Ivoroid binding (body only on the binding) * Nickel Waverly tuners * 24-7/8" short scale length * 1 3/4" nut width * no fretboard markers * Cutaway * Sunburst * Pickguard in the case * Rose inlay on headstock * Calton case SHOULD BE ARRIVING TODAY!!!! so I will take some more photos and post them up in a few days. | ||

When I got my really Green 1771 the box was warm, the case was warm, it was 65 degrees outside... When opened it, I touched the neck it was Ice Cold! I closed the lid, said a prayer, and waited awhile. The guitar had come from Basalt, CO. When I told the tale to the seller, he said... "Oh yeah, It snowed in the valley last night." So patience might be prudent. | ||

Proves there is method in the madness | ||

Having already seen it, held it, and played it makes it a bit easier to wait. I plan to open up the case first thing when I get home from work....approximately 6-7 hours! Pics to follow...... | ||
