This would be a really good one to step up to ... COLLINGS OM2 SUNBURST I certainly don't post every Collings I see for sale and I personally dislike seeing ebay links here, but this one is really special. If I didn't have this exact one already, it would be AZ bound in a heartbeat. This is GOOD ..... | ||

Joined: November 2004 Posts: 4413 | In one of life's funny little coincidences I was searching ebay for a mechanical camera for my daughter who is about to start a photography course at school, and after I put OM2 in the search box this very guitar popped up on UK ebay in amongst all the Olympus cameras. Weird. | ||

Joined: October 2008 Posts: 489 | Don't like ANY bursts. Probably because my first guitar was a burstoid Stella. That could also explain why I don't like tailpieces, flat fingerboards, open tuners or pickguards. I hated that thing. | ||

The burst on the C10 might actually be more appealing to most since it is a bit more traditional. | ||

Joined: November 2006 Posts: 3969 | Beautiful guitars, no doubt. Next year I'll probably jump into the deep end. I'm done with O's and A's, and the agreement with SWMBO over the 1538 purchase was that I buy no more guitars in '09. But that leaves next year wide open ;) | ||
