Guitars

Acoustic Music Works keeps about three hundred acoustic guitars in stock. These include the finest factory built steel string and resonator guitars, as well as a few archtops, and some impressive classical guitars. We feature the region's best selection of professional grade steel string guitars from Collings, Huss & Dalton, Bourgeois, Goodall, Beard, Lowden, National Resophonic, Breedlove, Gallagher, Eastman, and Composite Acoustic. We also carry intermediate grade instruments from Breedlove and Blueridge, and from time to time, custom guitars by individual luthiers.

Here is a sampling of our guitar inventory. We buy, sell, trade, and invite consignments. We do our best to keep the website updated. The occasional price flub or typographical error should be interpreted as folksy charm, not deviousness. No auto-responders here, all e-mails receive a personal, prompt and courteous reply. We get a *lot* of e-mail, and we reply to every message. If you don't receive a reply, please call or try again as that means the mail server or our overly assertive spam-filter is on the fritz. Stuff happens.

Collings guitars are made in Austin, Texas, and are arguably the finest steel string guitars being built today and are quite likely tomorrow's collectible instruments. They exhibit remarkable craftsmanship, and offer exceptional playability, stability, responsiveness, volume and punch. We keep a wide and varied inventory, and fill a LOT of special orders, but Collings guitars sell through here very quickly. We particularly like their mahogany, maple, koa, and Brazilian rosewood guitars and their use of Adirondack and German spruce, but honestly, they seem incapable of building a bad guitar. We've done our homework and listened, listened, listened, and really know what makes these guitars tick. Collings guitars just fly out of here (over 120 Collings instruments sold in 2008). If you see something you like, please call. They go fast. Certain models are downright impossible to keep in stock, and we always have a bunch (currently over fifty) on order. We have stock orders scheduled well into 2011 but have build slots held in reserve to accomodate special orders. Every now and then, we have something VERY special in the works or tucked away in back that does not get listed on our website. Some folks ask us not to display their custom order treasures. We take a lot of pre-sold special orders, many of which don't get listed here. If you don't see what you are looking for, please call or e-mail. We love to talk about Collings guitars and we invite custom orders. If you have a used Collings to trade or consign, we have a "want list" for certain models and we are fair and we go the extra mile. Used Collings guitars hold value and they sell quickly. Try us first! Here's a photo taken at the 2006 NAMM Show in LA. That's the two Steves. Our Steve and Steve McCreary just gushing over the new D1A VARNISH guitar. A new standard for flat top steel string guitars.
Collings	C-10 Maple Art Deco	Just arrived - 2010 NAMM Show guitar (NEW) You know how we love the C-10 model. Here is one of a kind - from the playful mind and capable hands of Bill Collings. When we had Bill here this past Summer, we had all just returned from the Summer NAMM Show with the insanely cool maple Art Deco Collings ukulele. I asked Bill if he would consider building a matching C-10 guitar for us, and he loved the idea. Fast forward six months - this is that guitar, and it is a doozie. Maple C-10, Sitka top, black binding, Art Deco headstock and bridge, 1 and 11/16" nut, black bound soundhole, Peghead brand (mechanical geared) tuners that give the guitar a sort of Flamenco flair. It is the lightest Collings maple guitar we have ever handled, at just under 3.5 pounds. This guitar sings. It is warm. It is sweet and unique. Not sure if Bill plans to make it a production model. We think it sounds best played fingerstyle, but it can be flatpicked quite nicely and it comes with a (black) C10 pickguard, just in case. At this time, the guitar is one of a kind. And Oh, it's a special guitar.	SOLD
Collings	OM3MhG SS cut Custom VARNISH	Just arrived - and just amazing (NEW) This was well thought out then ordered by a member of the Collings Forum in April of 2009 - as our varnish guitars orders have been running about ten months. We worked with him to get the specs just right: 1 and 3/4" nut width, SHORT SCALE, cutaway, select GERMAN spruce top, style three features, light build, varnish, Adirondack braces, select Brazilian rosewood headstock veneer. We'd love to claim some credit for it, but the folks at Collings deserve all the credit. I will try to describe this thing without drifting into hyperbole, but it is just so FREAKING good! Truly one of the ten best sounding Collings OMs we have ever heard with positively ENORMOUS dark and rich bass and a fullness of tone that cannot possibly be coming out of a this brand new, unplayed, barely 3.5 pound box of mahogany joy. Can it? Tone Rite? Don't bother! We'd like to keep this guitar here for reference when someone asks "does varnish really make a difference?"	SOLD
Collings	OOO2H cut	In transit (NEW) A OOO in East Indian rosewood and Sitka spruce with herringbone purfling and CUTAWAY. Collings cutaways are rare and OOO cutaways are even more rare. Thought it was time to shake things up. We ordered the guitar with 1 and 3/4" nut width.	List Price: $4,850
Our Price: $4,365
Collings	16" Archtop Sunburst	Just Arrived (NEW) Collings 16" archtop - # 55. It's always a Yippie-Ti-Yi-Yo Christmas when Santa rides in wielding a new Collings archtop. God bless us, every one!	SOLD
Collings	AT 17 custom	Coming soon (On Order) Ordered four years ago at the January 2006 NAMM Show - unique light orange-ish sunburst 17" archtop - maple with koa binding on body, fretboard, and f holes. Amazing guitar - just like the one built in mid 2005 for the 2006 NAMM Show. ETA: early 2010 or thereabouts. Priced somewhere in the $18,000 neighborhood.	INQUIRE
Collings	OOO Mahogany Top Custom	Just arrived (NEW)You know how we love our Hog-tops here at Moe's House of Mahogany. Moe runs a pretty mean Hog Shop here, but this one has us in Hog Heaven. Just when we think we've seen it all, Moe orders up a custom OOO in walnut-stained mahogany with SOLID headstock, 1 and 3/4" nut width and oh so subtle ROPE purfling.

There's not a lot that can be said that has not been said already. This model speaks for itself, and some consider it the most versatile guitar that Collings builds.

Collings	CJ Mh A ss sb	Just arrived (NEW) One of our best selling models - the classic Collings CJ in mahogany and Adirondack spruce with dark tobacco sunburst, tigerstripe pickguard, and tortoise binding. There's not a lot that can be said that has not been said already. This model speaks for itself, and some consider it the most versatile guitar that Collings builds. This fabulous guitar features a short scale and a 1 and 3/4" nut width as well as two other of our very popular options: a Style Three backstrip and a flourish on the headstock.	List Price: $6,275	Our Price: $5,647
Collings	CJ Mh G ss SB	Just arived (NEW) Fresh Pics. More CJ please!! Thank you Sir, may I have another? You know we think the voice is in the Spruce, don't you? So, imagine this: A big old mahogany Collings CJ. Loosen it up and light its fuse with a short scale, add a stiff German spruce top. Give it a 1 and 3/4" nut width and tigerstripe pickguard. Apply fingers. Repeat. Listen to the fireworks. Just an AMAZING sounding guitar! Rings like a bell. $5,550 ON HOLD (BS)	SOLD
Collings	D1A Sunburst	Just Arrived (NEW)Just in time for the holidays, our best selling nodel, the Collings D1A. We've had over 100 D1As now, and the sound is consistently great. It is the sound we hear in our heads when we think "guitar". This one all dressed up with sunburst finish and a CW style pickguard, 1 and 3/4" nut width, and the Style 3 backstrip. How's that sound?	List Price: $5,350
Our Price: $4,815
Collings	D1A sb custom VARNISH	Just Arrived (NEW)We're having one of our best Septembers ever and the new custom orders are coming in fast and furious. It appears that Mr. Bernanke may be right. Speaking of great Septembers - it's always a good day when a guitar THIS good arrives. Seriously, these Vintage Now necked dreadnought guitars always catch us by surprise - there is an extra dollop of tone in that larger neck. Mass equals MC Hammer or something like that. Anyway, all kidding aside - here is one AMAZING sounding D1A. Truth be told, it's our favorite model, one we really understand, and our best selling guitar. We've handled hundreds of them. The varnish versions are consistently superb yet this one stands especially tall. We are grown men reduced to giddiness. Here are the vitals: D1A with custom dark sunburst, Style 3 backstrip, Adirondack braces, 1 and 3/4" nut width, fretboard and peghead binding, Vintgae Now neck and bridge, cut through saddle and the vintage glow of the hand rubbed varnish finish. $7,900	SOLD
Collings	D1A custom VARNISH	Just Arrived (NEW)Thanks to our loyal customers and some dynamite new ones, we've just had the best August we've EVER had and the September orders are coming in fast and furious. I don't want to jinx anything, but I am ready to say that things are returing to normal here. Speaking of "normal", the model that keeps the bills paid here at Moe's House of Mahogany is the ever-popular Collings D1A. This one is one of our custom orders for which we requested, and received, "perfect" wide grain Adirondack spruce for the top and perfect free-of-figure mahogany for the back. To make it pre-war "ish", and CW-ish, we leave out the tongue brace but we've added fretboard and peghead tortoise binding and a fancy torch on the headstock inlayed in Brazilian rosewood. We put a 1 and 23/32" nut width at the business end of this machine and we put the CW style 2 and 1/4" saddle spacing on her, just to make he go faster. We didn't put any dots on the fretboard, cause we know you don't need them, but we did have the Collings logo inlaid at fret # 12. We figure Collings deserves credit for this guitar, and with that cool torch on the headstcock, the brand goes slightly incognito. This amazing sounding thing is a lightly built guitar, weighing just under four pounds. Oh and did I mention? The Three V's. Varnish, varnish, varnish.	List Price: $7,750	Our Price: $6,975
Collings	D1A custom VARNISH	Just Arrived (NEW)August ended and September started here with six Collings sold in six days. Let's keep that streak going. This gorgeous thing is another one of our custom orders for store stock. For this one we selected a set of unusually beautiful *tight* grain Adirondack spruce for the top and some very nicely figured flamed mahogany for the back. This one *does* have the standard tongue brace and is the standard build, weighing about 4.4 pounds. We've added fretboard and peghead tortoise binding and crosscut ivoroid purfling and a fancy torch on the headstock inlayed in striped ebony. We went with a 1 and 3/4" nut width on this machine with standard 2 and 3/16" saddle spacing on her, just like you like. We didn't put any dots on the fretboard, cause we know you don't need them, but we did doll her up with the CW style pickguard. Really pretty. Sound? Vim, vigor, and volume. Think it could be the varnish?	List Price: $7,550	Our Price: $6,795
Collings	CW MhA - VARN CW Mahogany VARNISH	Just arrived (NEW) The iconic Collings CW in mahogany and Adirondack spruce dressed to kill in va-va-va-VARNISH. A model that quite often successfully takes the buyer off the market forever, a CW is about as good as a guitar can be. Every CW we get is killer. A CW in varnish? OVER-kill. Hooo Boy!! Honest to Pete....This CW really kicks butt. 4.0 pounds, with a fullness of tone that is remarkable, really. Played side by side with a varnish D1A, the D1A has slightly more percussive woof, but there in an openness and mid-range sparkle to this particular CW and rumble in the upper bass that slices and dices, seriously, like nothing we've ever heard. In that it is our first VARNISH CWMhA, by the way, I suppose that is why it sounds like something we have not heard. Duh.... Is it better than the D1A-Varnish? NO - but it is different enough that it would be *really* hard to choose between the two.	List Price: $7,175	Our Price: $6,457
Collings	D1A VARNISH	Just arrived (NEW) It will be good to get some fresh and aromatic stock into our famed varnish "huff" room. Wouldn't you know it, a D1A Varnish with a few nice options: 1 and 3/4" nut width, Vintage Now neck and bridge, Adirondack braces, no tongue brace, cut thru saddle, Brazilian rosewood peghead overlay. A guitar which requires no explanation. Just exclamation. This one is a loose cannon, with very robust bass, woody warmth, and volume to spare. That Vintage Now neck always seems to add a little something to the nether regions tonally. If you are looking for "the one to go to war with", this could be the artillery you have been seeking. 4.2 pounds, this pistol packing Mama. Take no prisoners, indeed. SOLD (JB)	SOLD
Collings	CW Indian A no aging toner	(NEW)Here's a great looking Collings CW. Most builders, including Collings, use an aging toner to add color to the spruce top. We ordered this one wihout toner so the natural beauty of the wood shows through. Here's Adirondack (Red) spruce in all its glory. Wide grain, red streaks, no excuses. The guitar has the characteristic crisp, clear tone with that articulate bass and midrange boost that defines the CW model. Ka-changgg!	List Price: $5,300	Our Price: $4,770
Collings	D2Hsb	(NEW) Collings best selling model, the Collings D2H. His classic rosewood dreadnought, this one a custom job decked out in Western shade top with full headstock and fretboard binding - to match the traditional ivoroid body binding. Herringbone purfling, nickel Waverly tuners, 1 and 3/4" nut width and bright ringing rosewood tone. Ka-channnggg! Positively perfect and breathtakingly pretty. Want it?	List Price: $4,400	Our Price: $3,960
Collings	D2H	(NEW) The basic D2H - Collings' flagship and best selling model with high grade East Indian Rosewood and a Sitka spruce top. A beautiful guitar with nickel Waverly tuners and optional and very desirable 1 and 3/4" nut width. Just your basic world class Indian Rosewood dreadnought guitar from the top builder in the world. That's all.	List Price: $3,775	Our Price: $3,398
Collings	D2H-G NAMM	Just arrived - 2010 NAMM guitar (NEW) As good as the standard D2H is (and it *is*) we find that our favorite way to go to the races with a D2H is to top it with beautiful German spruce, leave out the tongue brace, then brace it with the stiffer Adirondack spruce bracing. This top secret combination of components makes for a D2H that is greater than the sum of its parts. Maximum sustain and clarity with volume that makes banjo players envious. Less stiff than a D2H-A, the D2HG with Adi bracing seems to be the perfect beast. This one was built for the 2010 NAMM Show then shipped here to our humble lumber emporium. East Indian Rosewood, German Spruce with aging toner, 1 and 3/4" nut width and a great looking Brazilian rosewood headstock veneer. Seriously, get out of the way when this guitar starts going.	List Price: $4,375
Our Price: $3,937
Collings	D2H-G	Just arrived (NEW) As good as the standard D2H is (and it *is*) we find that a German spruce top adds just the right amount of sustain and fullness to an already great guitar. If your style requires a guitar that has fat singing trebles, maximum sustain, extreme clarity and focus and the ability to handle open tunings, we think German spruce is the key. This guitar has the highly desirable 1 and 3/4" nut width.	List Price: $4,275
Our Price: $3,847
Collings	D1A	Just arrived (NEW) We get all the best Collings D1A guitars. There we said it. Or maybe, just maybe, Collings is incapable of making a bad D1A guitar, or any guitar for that matter. Whatever the case, we have one here that is typical of the breed: Fierce, loud, proud, explosive, and posessed of growl that is both gigantic and persuasive. Very nice looking Adirondack spruce top and a few nice options: 1 and 3/4" nut width, tortoise bound fretboard and headstock, figured Brazilian rosewood headstock overlay. Take your playing to the next level. Take no prisoners. (List: $5,000)	List Price: $5,000	Our Price: $4,500
Collings	D1A	(NEW) We sell a *lot* of these. Your standard off-the-rack D1A. The one to have when you are having only one. Nothing added, nothing left off. Possibly the easiest decision a guitar shopper can make. Nothing "standard" about this beauty, with nickel Waverlies, a beautiful striped ebony headstock overlay, and the standard 1 and 11/16" nut width. These sound fantastic, play beautifully, and generally sell VERY quickly.	List Price: $4,400	Our Price: $3,960
Collings	DS1A custom	(NEW) OK...you know how we worship Collings D1A guitars. "The one to have when you are having only one." Well, every now and then we run into someone who wishes a D1A had a little less bite and a little more snuggle, a little less cut and a little more hug, a little less fight and a little more love. These folks tend to play with fingers as often as flatpick, and they tend to sing more often, and their need to kill banjos is less critical. For these folks we often recommend the DS1A, a first cousin to the D1A. A guitar where the neck joins the body at the twelfth fret and the bridge resides in the middle of the lower bout and drives the lower frequencies all the way to Poughkeepsie. If you have ever said a D1A is "too big, too bad, too bright, too brittle, too this too that, maybe you should meet its cousin, the DS1A. The bigger bottomed D1A. This is a custom model with a solid headstock, a style three backstrip, and a 1 and 3/4" nut width. It's good.	List Price: $5,300	Our Price: $4,770
Collings	D1A L (Lefty)	(NEW) We couldn't be Moe's House of Mahogany if we didn't stock a D1A, the industry standard flatpicking guitar, for the LEFTY set as well. Sell the rest, buy the best. Standard features - 1 and 11/16" nut width. Wish I could play it!	List Price: $4,850	Our Price: $4,365
Collings	OM1ss Sunburst	Just Arrived (NEW)Just in time for the long cold Winter, a nice little Collings OM1 in SHORT SCALE with sunburst to keep you warm. 1 and 3/4" nut width, of course. Sounds sweet. Plays like butter.	List Price: $4,475
Our Price: $4,027
Collings	OM1A VARNISH	Just Arrived (NEW)Just in time for your year-end bonus check (remember those?), a perfect Collings OM1A in VARNISH. 1 and 3/4" nut width, light. Sounds incredible. Gone !	SOLD
Collings	OM1A - Koa	Just arrived - (NEW) Something pretty and special. Basically an OM1A in Hawaiian koa. That's an OM1 with extremely high grade exquisitely figured koa back and sides and a fabulous wide grain Adirondack top. It's got a style three back strip and tortoise bound body, neck and headstock and ebony knobs on Waverly tuners. So it resembles our fancy customs OM1As but it is koa. It is lightly built, it is fabulous looking and it has that "dark" quality that koa excels at. Not quite as dry as mahogany, koa has a dark reverby sweet warmth to it, with a bit of complexity. It's a GREAT guitar and we know it will look great in your lap! C'mon by and noodle on it. (pick guard on the side) Business has been picking up nicely, thanks for asking. Looks like we (the collective we, I hope) may all have turned a corner. Let's stay on track.	List Price: $6,550	Our Price: $5,895
Collings	OM1 koa German	(NEW) Oh my! We try to get several of these koa OMs each year, as Collings locates the most magnificent koa for us, and we are never disappointed. We have a special fondness for koa guitars, particularly those topped with good German spruce. So we present our first 2008 Collings OM1koa-G. Just a perfectly clean basic OM1 enhanced by richly flamed koa back and sides, and that melodious German spruce top. 1 and 3/4" nut width of course. The koa on this guitar is positively delicious, with striking three dimensional figure and depth. And speaking of depth, the guitar has that exotic tonal richness that comes from German spruce, mixed with that dark haunting reverby overtone of koa. A particularly handsome and sophisticated sounding guitar.	List Price: $5,450	Our Price: $4,905
Collings	OM1 koa German	(NEW) Oh my! Another new OM1koaG - in flame koa with German spruce top. We present our second 2008 Collings OM1koa-G. This one a little fancier than the first with rich flamed koa back and sides, a perfect German spruce top, abalone rosette, and tortoise binding on body, neck, and headstock. A rich ebony headstock overlay completes the picture. 1 and 3/4" nut width of course. The figured koa on this guitar has a lovely organic symmetrical pattern in it. The guitar has a sophisticated sound with strong low end and lots of sustain. The guitar of a lifetime for some lucky person.	List Price: $6,100	Our Price: $5,490
Collings	OM1 Mh	(NEW)A regularly featured custom model for us here at Moe's House of Mahogany. A Collings OM with mahogany top in splendid full body vintage sunburst with 1 and 3/4" nut width, Brazilian rosewood headstock veneer, ebony knobbed nickel Waverlies and tortoise binding and purfling on neck and headstock. These are extremely popular and are the perfect medicine for someone who is in a guitar rut. Inspiration on a stick, fun in a bun. Fresh pics!	List Price: $5,200	Our Price: $4,680
Collings	OM1Asb- cut OM1A sunburst CUTAWAY	Just Arrived (NEW) So...have you been listening to Pete Huttlinger at all? You really should. We all should. After doing so, we've concluded that there is only one thing more satisfying than a Collings OM1A guitar with a cutaway, and that is an OM1A with a cutaway and a Collings Style One sunburst. And a 1 and 3/4" nut width, of course. One of these and one of Pete's instructional videos and a weekend of woodshedding - instant motivation. Here is what we say: Stop watching the cable news shows - and watch Pete do this. Now get back on that guitar. And get back in style.	List Price: $5,875	Our Price: $5,287
Collings	OM1 Mh cut custom cutaway	Just Arrived (NEW) Here's a cool idea: Here at Moe's House of Mahogany, we feel mahogany deos everything well. It is a woody wonder. Sure we like it on backs and sides with spruce tops, who doesn't like that? But we have a particular affection for the "all-mahogany" guitar, the "Hog-Tops" as we like to call them. C10's go great that way, CJs are positively KILLER in that configuration, and of course OMs do everything well and a hog top OM is a great bluesy guitar that stays out of a singer's way, and delivers a sweet balanced warm and welcome tone. If you have three spruce topped guitars already (and who doesn't??) then trust Moe: you really should consider a Hog Top. This particular Hog Top is way cool. Take a SHORT SCALE OM-1, add a mahogany top, add a cutaway, add a pyramid bridge, add a 1 and 3/4" nut width, then add your fingers. One of our (classical) guitar teachers picked it up today and said "I did not believe a steel string guitar could sound this good". Become a believer.	SOLD
Collings	OO2MRG MadRose German	Just arrived (NEW) And worth the wait. A OO body Collings in Madagascar Rosewood with a fine German spruce top. We eliminated the herringbone (nod to JR) and we eliminated the slotted headstock. So this is a custom solid headstock OO with 1 and 3/4" nut width (pretty cool, huh?) We kept the pyramid bridge and we ordered a pickguard "on the side" (not installed) in case the new owner wants to add one. Ordered as a pair (well, sort of) with the O2MRG shown below, one is a 12 fret wonder and the other is a 14 fret stunner. We could see why someone might buy both. MadRose and German is a superb combination. This small guitar has great warmth and sustain.	List Price: $5,700	Our Price: $5,130
Collings	C10 Deluxe Cutaway	Just arrived (NEW) We love the C-10 model. There are so many ways to slice and dice it. We chose to slice this one and add a cutaway. So we've got a deluxe C-10 in East indian rosewood with sitka top and cutaway. Oh, we also added Waverly tuners and a 1 and 3/4" nut width, of course.	List Price: $4,775	Our Price: $4,297
Collings	C10 Maple	(NEW) We love our C10s here. Collings' most versatile guitar. We've not met one we have not liked. This current one features gorgeous flame maple back and sides with sitka top, nickel Waverly tuners, and 1 and 3/4" nut width. Not too fancy, just good. Darned good. In fact, a great blues guitar, with thwack and snarl and a dark punchy side. Great projection, nice bottom. Strong fundamentals...and good manners.	List Price: $4,400	Our Price: $3,960
Collings	C10 custom Camper Maple German Sunburst	Off the charts! (NEW) And while we are on the subject of maple guitars, let us tell you about this very special custom guitar we've cooked up: How does this sound: A Collings C-10 "Camper" in gorgeous flame maple with FULL BODY SUNBURST! Our Campers are in the hands of some mighty discerning players. This one has a high grade German spruce top, tortoise binding, tortoise rosette, fingerboard and headstock binding with purfling and Waverly tuners and a 1 and 3/4" nut width, of course. Easy...but not cheap. Clearly EXCEPTIONAL. $6,750 ON HOLD (JB)	ON HOLD
Collings	C10 Dlx Custom rosewood deep body Adirondack top	(NEW) C10 custom deluxe model - deep rosewood (dreadnought depth) body - Nick Lucas depth with 1 and 3/4" nut width, natural Red (Adirondack) spruce top, abalone rosette, with ivoroid bound body, neck and headstock (with nice striped ebony headstock overlay) and nickel Schaller tuners with ebony knobs. Deep and deluxe, same way we like our pizza. What sound! These deep C-10s are surprisingly powerful and take what is basically an L-OO fingerstyle blues guitar and transform them into amazingly versatile tight waisted comfortable mid size full sounding guitars for singer-songwriter strumming or even aggressive flatpicking. The Adirondack top on this one delivers max headroom and mucho cut - this is a the *perfect* C10 for the flatpicker or the metal fingerpick wearing bluesman who doesn't want to lug a jumbo.	List Price: $5,325	Our Price: $4,790
Collings	C-10 Maple Art Deco	Just arrived - 2010 NAMM Show guitar (NEW) You know how we love the C-10 model. Here is one of a kind - from the playful mind and capable hands of Bill Collings. When we had Bill here this past Summer, we had all just returned from the Summer NAMM Show with the insanely cool maple Art Deco Collings ukulele. I asked Bill if he would consider building a matching C-10 guitar for us, and he loved the idea. Fast forward six months - this is that guitar, and it is a doozie. Maple C-10, Sitka top, black binding, Art Deco headstock and bridge, 1 and 11/16" nut, black bound soundhole, Peghead brand (mechanical geared) tuners that give the guitar a sort of Flamenco flair. It is the lightest Collings maple guitar we have ever handled, at just under 3.5 pounds. This guitar sings. It is warm. It is sweet and unique. Not sure if Bill plans to make it a production model. We think it sounds best played fingerstyle, but it can be flatpicked quite nicely and it comes with a (black) C10 pickguard, just in case. At this time, the guitar is one of a kind. Note: It's moved to the C-10 capital, Boulder, CO! (SOLD) (BD)	SOLD

Arthur Godfrey popularized them. Tiny Tim ruined them for a whole generation. George Harrison made them cool again. Jake Shimabukuro, the Jimi Hendrix of the ukulele, blew the lid off of the thing. Del Rey taught us the Blue Uke. Victoria Vox brought it to the singer-songwriter genre. Now Bill Collings, the Master of the fretted instrument universe, will perfect the uke. Think you are too cool for a uke? You are not. Travel instrument? Perfect. Breath of fresh air? You betcha. We received two of the prototypes today (one mahogany and one koa with cedar top. ) They sound GREAT. They are more fun than a box of puppies and I promise you, there will be LOTS and LOTS more.

Collings electrics
Turn it up!! Speaking of new standards? We're purists. We're snobs. It's too loud and we're too old...whatever...We're all about *acoustic* music here, but we've been drawn to the proverbial crossroads (turns out they are right outside of Austin, Texas) and encountered a very persuasive gentleman there - that Bill Collings fellow is a little intense, but he made a very compelling argument so we traded him our acoustic soul. To see the result, check out our new and positively brilliant line of Collings electric guitars...we find them to be electric guitars for grownups - with incredible fit and finish, great hand wound pickups which produce a fat sound that has a lot of air in it. Clean, bestowed of Texas Twang, sophisticated sounding electrics that carry on the great Collings sonic tradition. They are a players dream. A full stick of butter. Beautifully crafted new American classics. We try to keep several dozen in stock at all times.
Collings	I-35	Prototype (NEW) - With our high ranking among Collings' top dealers, we were given our choice of the first (Austin NAMM Show 2006) debut electrics, and the choice was a fairly simple one for us. This I-35 Deluxe blonde (natural finish) with optional *premium quilt top* double cutaway carved top semi-hollow guitar is altogether handsome, positively electric, impressively lightweight and perfectly balanced, has Bill's DNA on it and in it, and was a harbinger of great things to come. Had me a pretty hip '66 ES330 when I was just a wee lad. Forty years later, this seems somehow appropriate - like a grownup's version of that guitar. This first VERY special I-35 deluxe (inscribed NAMM #9) is highly collectible but NOT FOR SALE at this time.	Not for Sale at this time

Used Collings Guitars
Collings	SJ 42 BaaaA	Just arrived (USED) A nine year old (12/00) Collings SJ42. One of those off-the-charts crazy good guitars that come along every now and then. Built with what was selected and reserved as the highest of AAA grade Brazilian back in 2000. Might as well call it *Dalbergia Unobtanium* now, as we can only dream about wood like that today...or you can own wood like that tomorrow if you purchase this guitar. Your call. Collectible, playable, irresistable. This SJ will warm your heart. Seriously folks, looking for a *killer* SJ with Brazilian and Adirondack the likes of which you have never seen? Say no more. It's a world class guitar, and not surprisingly, it includes a white deluxe Calton case. The nut width is 1 and 11/16". The bridge pins are fossil ivory. The Brazilian rosewood is stupifyingly straight. The sound is as you would imagine. Can't think of anything else to say...ON CONSIGNMENT - GREAT price!	$9,750
Collings	SJ Mh A Mahogany Adirondack	Just arrived (USED) As "used" guitars go, this is about as clean as they come. We hesitate to use the word "mint", but this one is very close. It is very rare to find a used guitar in this condition. Any marks on the photos are reflections. This machine is CLEAN! It is rare to find a mahogany SJ, and this one has great looking Adirondack spruce on the top, as God intended. And 1 3/4" nut width, as He prefers. The guitar really sounds fantastic. The previous owner must have played it with gloves on, as it has a well developed sounnd with nary a hint of wear. A little brighter and lighter in the bass than a D1A, but a GREAT versatile flatpicker and fingerstyle guitar. If you already have a dreadnought you love, this would be a fine companion. If you live to play, this could be your raison d'etre. ON CONSIGNMENT	$4,250
Collings	SJ	(USED) - Another great sounding Collings small jumbo (flame maple neck, back and sides/sitka spruce top, gold hardware) - 1 and 11/16" nut width. Natural finish - blond. A beautiful guitar - sold here new about three years ago. Back on consignment in "nearly new" excellent plus condition.	$3,250
Collings	O2HBaaA Brazilian Rosewood	Just arrived (USED) Traded here on a custom Collings City Limits electric. This magnificent sounding O body Collings in nice (AA grade) Brazilian Rosewood with a fine Adirondack spruce top. A VERY rich sounding small guitar. Perhaps the ulimate "O"?	$5,750
Collings	OM2H KOA	Just arrived (USED) A TWELVE year old (09/98) Collings OM2H in highly flamed Hawaiian KOA. The nut width is 1 and 3/4". The Waverly tuners are gold. The Koa is highly flamed and the Sitka top has darkend nicely. The sound is as you would imagine, warm and full with lots of dark reverby "there" there. Likes to be flatpicked, but is a marvelous fingerstyle guitar also.....There is one lonely ding on the top (shown in the photos). If you like Koa, you'll love this guitar. Even if you don't like koa, you'd probably still love this guitar. ON CONSIGNMENT	$3,750
Collings	Baby SB	Just arrived (USED) A six year old (2004) Collings Baby, this one with a great style 2 sunburst. The nut width is 1 and 11/16". We haven't seen a lot of Babies come through since Collings started building the "O" model, but this guitar reminds us why we like the Baby so well... effortless playability and a great from as a result of the 24 and 1/8" scale length. It's essentially a 3/4 size version of the Collings OM. As with all things Collings, looks can be deceiving. This little guitar has a big voice and would be a superb tool for a songwriter or road warrior. East Indian Rosewood, beautiful sunburst, nickel Waverlies, bound neck and bound fretboard (nice) with just a few dings (lacquer impressions, nothing serious) on the top and back and lots of happy strummer's brush scratches around the pick guard. Happy Baby indeed! Current list would be $4,600	$3,250
Collings	Baby 2H koa E	In transit (USED) A fairly recent (2008) Collings Baby, this one a style 2 with herringbone purfling and flamed KOA back and sides and warm Engelmann spruce top. We are told that it is in like-new condition. The nut width is the wider 1 and 3/4". Current list would be $5,200	INQUIRE
Collings	D1A custom	Just arrived (USED) One of our custom D1As has come back home. This has been the regular take no prisoners guitar of one our better customers. He's replaced it with an identical D1A-Varnish (no surprise there) and has now ordered a custom MF5-Varnish Collings mandolin, so the original D1A must go on the block. Its serial number, 10245, indicates we sold it new way back in ought-four (2004) - so six years of good picking has turned this into one exceptionally ferocious D1A. It has a 1 and 3/4" nut width, torch on the headstock, CW pickguard, long saddle, NO tongue brace (that's what SHE said) and the ability to rip the face off a banjo. ON CONSIGNMENT - Some fret wear showing on the first three frets, ebony strap button installed and a few good dings! Note: At $4,250, includes a Calton case. At $3,750, includes a used Collings case.	SOLD
Collings	O1A with K & K	Just arrived (USED) A great sounding Collings O1 with a great looking Adirondack spruce top. Equipped with a K&K (passive) pickup, this small guitar can do it all. Great porch guitar, great office guitar, great travel guitar, great gigging guitar. Just a great guitar.	$3,450
Collings	O2MRG MadRose German	Just arrived (USED) Traded back here on a custom Collings I-35 electric. This fine sounding O body Collings in Madagascar Rosewood with an exquisite German spruce top. We sold this new last year. When we ordered it, we eliminated the herringbone (nod to JR) but we did add a style three backstrip, a pyramid bridge and an abalone rosette to make this unique and classy little guitar. Make no mistake, she is small, but she is posessed of tone and sustain that rivals even the finest OM guitars. Very punchy, can be strummed aggressively. The ultimate couch guitar. Perhaps a Super Bowl Guitar?	$4,350
Collings	0001-G	Just arrived (USED) From another thoughtful and trusted customer, this fine Collings OOO. We've sold this good customer a few mighty fine guitars, and we've taken a few in trade from him. He knows his guitars and his trades and consignments are always a worthy adventure. This Collings OOO is graced with some fine figured mahogany and beautiful tight grain German spruce, 1 and 13/16" nut width, no pickguard, pyramid bridge, 2 and 5/16" saddle spacing, and slotted headstock. That is a wood combination that we know well and we are delighted that it will be here ON CONSIGNMENT. Fresh pics. Sweet sounding guitar! It is warm with sophisticated overtone, soft but never mushy, and has impressive sustain. It is a fingerstyle guitar that is equally suited for standard tuning or open tuning, but it is a killer drop D or open tuning six string.	$3,250
Collings	DS2HMRG Mad Rose German custom	Just arrived(USED) The long awaited train from Madagascar has pulled into the Austin station. Is Madagascar rosewood the heir apparent to the now almost extinct and priceless Brazilian rosewood? MadRose can also very difficult to obtain in the size needed for guitar backs, and has a tonal depth similar to Brazilian, with perhaps a bit more warmth and weight. Coupled with German spruce, it makes for a very rich and potent sounding guitar. This is one of our custom DS2H 12 fret dreads with a torch on the SOLID headstock and a 1 and 3/4" nut width. It is fabulous with depth and shimmer. We sold it here one year ago. The owner has consigned it here to as he needs to deal with some financial and medical issues. The guitar is both dessert and dinner. It has abundant fullness but superb clarity as well. And it is as pretty as All Get Out. It is exceptionally good, with Collings volume and a sophisticated overtone-rich brilliance that serves fingerstyle and flatpick equally well. It goes without saying that it is "gi-normous" sounding, but it is also capable of great subtlety. It is a four course meal, it is one serious guitar. It was $ 6,250 It is now ON CONSIGNMENT - SOLD	SOLD
Collings	CJ Mh A sb 1997	Just arrived (USED) Always nice to run into one of these old hosses. Here's a perfectly preserved and well kept "CJ" from 1997. A twelve year old workhorse built during the the Clinton administration and just rounding the first lap of what will be a long and glorious ride. The label reads simply "CJ" (as Collings used to do) but this guitar is more specifically a CJMhAsb as is evidenced by the pics and verified by Collings. So, 12 years of fun: Adirondack top, ivoroid binding on body, neck, and peghead, 1 and 3/4" nut width, dark Collings sunburst. It's got some very pretty mahogany that has to be seen close up to be appreciated. The guitar had a pickup at one time which has been removed and the end pin jack has been replaced with an end pin plug (shown in pics). It is a splendid sounding CJ, currently strung with light gauge strings and plays like butter. It's got one or two tiny dings and a mark or two here and there. Not pristine, but precious. Original Collings case, etc. Very Good guitar! ON CONSIGNMENT	$4,100
Collings	AT16-sb Archtop	Archtop!! (USED) You know how we feel about Collings archtops. We are not worthy, but you are. Here's a great sounding one that has been kept in very clean condition, but played enough to develop a really (yes, really) BIG voice. Just arrived on consignment - I get one day alone with it and then it is up for grabs. The AT-16 comes in the standard Collings AT case. There is a separate (deluxe, brown) Calton case available for the AT-16 for $725. Note: The Calton has been SOLD (MM) Our friend, the great and highly regarded jazz guitarist Eric Johnson stopped by to throw a few very cool Wes Montgomery octave licks at the AT-16. Ah....flesh on metal! The guitar seemed to recognize them and they both (Eric and the AT-16) sounded magnificent! Note: The guitar is now SOLD (KB)	SOLD
Collings	SJ Rosewood Cedar	In transit (USED)(Exc.) The Collings SJ is an extremely versatile guitar. Sized somewhere between an OM and a Jumbo, it has a tight waist and sits low on the leg like a small body but its substantial lower bout helps produce a volume and tone that is well.."jumbo" by definition. We've sliced and diced the SJ in maple, Brazilian, mahogany/Adirondack, Koa/German, and a few other combinations. Here's a relatively rare but very James Taylor-esque combination - East Indian Rosewood and Western Red Cedar. 1 and 3/4" nut width, Schaller tuners with ebony knobs. From some builders, this might be considered a *fingerstyle* guitar, and it certainly works well in that mode - but being a Collings, it is not afraid of a flatpick and I dare say this guitar can do just about anything - if you are up to it.	$3,750
Collings	OM2h-G custom Varnish	Just arrived (USED) A positively magnificent Collings OM2H-G with high grade german srpuce. Custom order with 1 and 23/32" nut width, cut thru saddle, Adirondack spruce braces, and firestripe pickguard. Sold new for $6,500. A very strong OM2H - seems equally suited to flapick as well as well as fingerpicking styles. If you are not a believer that varnish makes a HUGE difference, we suggest you play a verse of Amazing Grace on this old thing. A truly versatile guitar that sounds great no matter how one attacks it. So what are you waiting for? Attack it. (CT)	SOLD
Collings	I-35 TSB	(USED)Coming in on trade, a "used" but very clean standard I-35 in tobacco sunburst. Nice price on a great guitar - this one has an optional Brazilian rosewood fretboard. Clean.	$4,250
Collings	290 Black	Just Arrived (USED)Another rocking good 290 in basic black with pearloid peghead overlay and pickguard and black pearl tuner knobs, all with minimal wear. None, really. Want a like-new Collings 290 for the holidays at a steal of a price? Call now.	$1,895
It's no longer a regional secret. Jeff Huss & Mark Dalton build mighty impressive guitars, and we're bustin' with pride to have one of the best selections in the world, and to have been named their Top Dealer for 2004, 2005 and again for 2006!! The photo shows Tim Nelson's exhuberance over the custom 2007 NAMM Show transparent black custom MJ (maple) that graced our shop after the show. It has Albert Lee's DNA all over it. A lighter build style than the Collings guitars but with similar fit and finish, Huss & Dalton's tone is often described as "woody", "balanced", "alive", and "open". We, literally, can't get enough of them. Sure, they build *GREAT* Bluegrass guitars - that's a given. But they don't stop there. We particularly like their 12 fret OO and other small body guitars, their mid-jumbo guitars, their use of wood bindings, and their sunburst finishes. Their maple, walnut, and koa guitars are among the best we've heard. With 2500 guitars under their belts now, these guys are shipping consistently amazing instruments. They also offer custom guitars of exceptional value - with comparatively reasonable up-charges for exotic tonewoods and custom features. This list represents just a *portion* of our Huss & Dalton inventory and orders. We always have build slots on reserve. If you don't see what you are looking for, please call or e-mail. We love to talk about Huss & Dalton guitars and we invite special orders. Don't settle on your next guitar until you have tried a Huss & Dalton! As Huss & Dalton's top dealer, we're always looking for more. If you have a used Huss & Dalton to trade or consign, we go the extra mile. We know what makes these guitars tick and we know good lumber when we hear it. Try us first!
Huss & Dalton	TDR custom - BRAZILIAN ROSEWOOD	Just arrived (NEW) If what you seek is a traditional sounding dreadnought with modern playability and perfect intonation, you should consider a Huss & Dalton. A light build, voiced for roaring clear bass and strong trebles, Huss and Dalton get it right. If what you seek is an investment grade dreadnought, you should consider this guitar. It was ordered with fabulously figured Brazilian rosewood and wide grain Adirondack spruce. We also spec'd a drop-in saddle instead of the standard cut thru saddle to make action adjustments easier. The guitar has nothing less than *classic* dreadnought tone with tremendous volume and great clarity. An heirloom grade guitar for someone with the chops to appreciate the finer things. Quit your investment banking job, join a bluegrass band, and rule the world. No apologies, GREAT guitar.	SOLD
Huss & Dalton	TDR custom Honduran Rosewood Bearclaw Italian Spruce top	Just arrived (NEW)The TDR is the classic traditional dreadnought. No one builds a finer traditional dreadnought than Huss & Dalton. Over the years we have been asked to spec the loudest dreadnoughts that will cut through a Bluegrass jam. We have found consistently that Honduran rosewood (even moreso than Brazilian) provides the ultimate in cut and volume. H&D have a particulalry good feel for the Honduran, and a particularly good supply. we generally top the Honduran guitars with Sitka, but have been persuaded by the good people at H&D to try the stiffer Italian spruce for even more volume, increased sustain, and complex tone. This one was ordered with drop-in saddle instead of the standard cut thru saddle and without any aging toner so the beautiful Italian spruce. If you are looking for the ultimate bluegrass dreadnought and if you haven't tried one of these, your search is not yet complete.	List Price: $5,250	Our price: $4,725

This one was ordered with drop-in saddle instead of the standard cut thru saddle and without any aging toner so the beautiful Red spruce (and it *is* beautiful) shines like the sun. Huge sound with great clarity. This is a GREAT guitar! This would be the anchor of a hot bluegrass picking session for sure. If you are looking for a great bluegrass dreadnought and if you haven't tried one of these, your search is not yet complete. Bang, zoom! Ka-channnggg! This guitar really has what it takes.	List Price: $4,150	Our price: $3,735

This big old mahogany powerhouse, just like the rosewood model above, has true "vintage" tone. Big open and rumbling locomotive bass and strong trebles. A mighty fine flatpicking guitar.

List Price: $4,350	Our price: $3,915
Huss & Dalton	OOO custom Brazilian Rosewood and Adirodack spruce	(NEW) - The Huss & Dalton Brazilian Classic. No, this is not a golf tournament. Rather, this is yet another heartfelt attempt to re-live some of the glory that was this guitar which was our favorite Huss & Dalton earlier this year. This time we asked those very talented builders at Huss & Dalton to stay on the *conservative* side in terms of wood selection and binding but stay with master grade Red Spruce and VERY straight grain old harvest brick-orange Brazilian rosewood to build the ultimate "traditional" looking classic OOO guitar. While she looks traditional with all the appropriate "classic" touches: ivoroid binding on body, fretboard, AND headstock, herringbone purfling, custom 1 and 3/4" nut width, traditional square peghead, purfling between the ivoroid binding and the Brazilian headstock veneer, ebony pyramid bridge, and a classic torch on the headstock, she's got a modern radiused top and compensated bone saddle and bolt on neck and should survive to serve your grandchildren's children quite nicely. Waverly nickel tuners with ivoroid knobs. Standard pickguard. Looking for an heirloom grade guitar?? This guitar has amazing bass and volume - just a KILLER OOO!! Don't put this thing in a vault - play this guitar! The look of the Brazilian seems to match the serial # (1953) and looks like the high grade stuff we wish we'd see more often. Now we are conflicted. Which of the new Brazilian OOOs do we prefer? We prefer both, that's about as honest as we can say it. Why not buy both of the Brazilian OOOs, one for you, one for the missus?? Serial # 1935 for you and 1953 for her. A pair for eternity. List price: $7,950 This will be easy to sell but hard to let go.	List Price: $7,950	Our price: $7,150

Acoustic Music Works is proud to be among the top dealers worldwide for Bourgeois Guitars. We've personally owned, coveted, and handled a lot of very special Dana Bourgeois instruments over the years, and we are thrilled to have his fine guitars in our shop. He's got access to some great wood, and his prices are comparatively low for such unique, handsome, and magnificent sounding guitars. We respect him and the team he has assembled, we love his guitars, and we will be doing what we do best: custom orders and cherry-picking some mighty special instruments. We invite you to join in the fun! Note: We joined Dana at Winter 2007 NAMM Show where he presented us the Top Dealer award for 2006 (see below) - Dana always has some of the most impressive NAMM special guitars in the place, and we generally snag three or four very impressive and unique guitars at the show. Inquire early and often and we'll find you a treasure!
Bourgeois	MadRose Signature OM	2009 NAMM Show Guitar (NEW) Featured at the 2009 Summer NAMM Show in Nashville, we took home this pick-of-the-litter DB Signature OM in Madagascar Rosewood and Adirondack spruce with medium-dark sunburst and Dana's own personal mulitcolor "DB Signature" herringbone purfling and figured koa binding. The peghead is adorned with a Ziricote overlay and snakewood knobs on gold Waverly tuners. The sound is heavenly. Pyramid bridge and 1 and 3/4" nut width of course. List price $5,395 SOLD Thanks Kurt!	SOLD
Bourgeois	O custom	This pretty little thing followed us home from the 2010 NAMM Show (NEW) As guitars go, we've never seen a prettier guitar. If a picture is worth a thousand words, hopefully the pics will do the talking and we can just shut up. Wouldn't that be a refreshing change? Seriously, Dana Bourgeois has tossed his hat into the "O" ring and his "O" is as good as it gets. Lots of warm feisty bottom in this particular Adirondack topped O and that is not something that can necessarily be said about all O's. O's are generally light in the loafers in the bass department.

Bourgeois	Maple DB Jumbo	Just arrived (USED) Dana Bourgeois introduced his "Petite Jumbo" a few years ago at NAMM.

Bourgeois	JOMC Madagascar Rosewood	(USED) We love Bourgeois "jumbo OM" guitars. They do everything well.

This guitar represents enormous bang for the buck. New, this guitar would be $7850 in Brazilian as opposed to $4850 with Madagascar - We agree with Dana Bourgeois and his comments regarding Madagascar rosewood versus Brazilian rosewood: "you get 80% of the tone for 20% of the price" - that's sounds about right, and the person who ends up with this guitar will be singing Dana's praises! This guitar has the dense reverby ring of a good Brazilian dreadnought, with a certain stiff punchiness right where a flatpicker wants it. And it works equally well for fingerstyle. Full and lush without any mush.We sold this guitar new a few years ago and it is back in *excellent* condition on consignment for $1000 less than the "new" price. Great guitar, GREAT LOW price.

A lightly built and powerful guitar that flatpicks extremely well and also goes fingerstyle when asked. Maple binding and herringbone rosette really dress up the "traditional" look. Great sounding guitar! A mahogany/adirondack comfortable mid-sized guitar poised to make you forget your dreadnought. List price: $ 4,995	Our Price: $4,495
Goodall	KCJ Koa Concert Jumbo	(NEW) James Goodall Concert Jumbo with 25.5" scale. To us, the "CJ" is the definitive Goodall fingerstyle guitar. There is that unmistakable open voice and rich abundant overtone. The "CJ" (Concert Jumbo) in our opinion, is the definitive Goodall model for fingerstyle playing. We spent some time discussing this one with Jean Goodall, and after some informed inspiration, we have spec'd this guitar with the combination of koa back and sides and some *Master Grade* "stiff" Englemann spruce for the top to make an outstanding strumming and fingerstyle guitar. The versatile "stiff" Englemann top allows for a more aggressive touch when needed (and even medium gauge strings if you prefer) so this guitar can cover a lot of territory. A thinking person's guitar! List price: $ 4,995	Our Price: $4,495
Goodall	MhS Mahogany Standard	(NEW) James Goodall Standard The Standard series, with its graceful curving lines, is a larger-bodied guitar with a clarity that is uncanny!

Approximately the same cavity size as the dreadnought guitar, that is where the resemblance stops. More than one musician has commented that "this guitar makes others sound like they are stuffed full of cotton." This one is Honduran mahogany with rosewood binding and AAA grade Enlgemann spruce. Nice combination for warmth, balance, and charm. Fullness with clarity. A beauty. List price: $ 3,895	Our Price: $3,500

American Vintage Series case. These loud and magnificent deep OM guitars and are now the best selling models in the Goodall line, and understandably so. "Traditional OM" is a bit of a misnomer. The Goodall Trad OM is more like a mini slope D. It will make you forget your dreadnought. For those who think a standard OM is small and boxy sounding, and a dread is too big, we present this dark and powerful bearclaw TROMMY. List price: $ 4,450	Our Price: $3,995

Just arrived and just as we had hoped, this guitar has that perfect *James Goodall* blend of controlled openness and richness mixed with the warmth and sustain of cedar and the midrange-centric punch of koa.

Beard	Artist Guitar IV - "North and South" Roundneck	(NEW) - We purchased this one of a kind custom guitar at the NAMM Show. This is the ART IV guitar - fourth in a series by Paul Beard and Rick Parks. Rick Parks is a professional artist and composite/sketch consultant for the FBI. Lately Rick has turned his talents toward drawing images on collectible instruments for the likes of National, Huss & Dalton, Bear Creek Hawaiian Guitars, and the Beard Resonators. His art guitars invlove drawing on the raw wood with pastel pencil and then applying a protective top coat of finish. This guitar features a civil war theme with Generals Lee and Grant depicted on the front with special North and South symbols in the coverplate. Aside from being a stunning work of art, this guitar features master grade materials (burled walnut) and gold plating and the very best of everything. Tonally, this guitar is a knockout!! While we assume this guitar will spend some time in a glass display case, we suggest you buy it with the intention of PLAYING it because it sounds amazing!! Got a civil war buff/guitar player on your Holiday list? The perfect gift. $9,995	$9,995

He let it lay in the sand as he and his daughter went boogie-boarding in the ocean. When he picked it up, it was in tune and had lots of sand in the soundhole. Then he took it back to the beach house and played it in the hot tub. At the end of the trip he jammed it in the space cadet next to the boogie boards on the roof of the van. Now it's home in his garage, still covered with sand and salt and chlorine and a few bugs and some spilled Trader Joe's Two Buck Chuck. Next, he'll hose it off and hang it in the damp basement next to the woodstove. Nice to have a guitar Moe can wail on and not worry about. Humidity? Hu-schmid-ity. New price $999	SOLD

The warranty is only one year. The bridge and fretboard are rosewood. The neck is three piece. Is it a D-18GE? Of course not. Does it sound like one? Pretty darn close, I have to say.

Bourgeois	A-350	Just arrived (USED) Oh my! A *superb* A-350 Dana Bourgeois archtop in violin finish sunburst. Generally, we can only count on one of these per year - and it's always a VERY good day when one arrives. We sold this guitar new last year, and it still looks new. Beautiful in every way. An extremely fine instrument, worthy of the finest player. You perhaps?	$4,650
BOZO	1977 Bell Western cutaway all abalone Brazilian	Just arrived (USED) Here's something you don't see every day. A Brazilian rosewood Bozo Bell Western cutaway. Built as a custom order by Bozo Podunavac in 1977. This is one fine guitar. Bozo's Croatian heritage is on full display on this very ornate guitar. With impeccable workmanship and playabilty, Bozo guitars are highly prized. The list of players (Leo Kottke, John Fahey, Reverend Gary Davis) reads like a Who's Who. Heavily built but blanced and responsive like no other guitar from that era. Strung with light gauge Thomastik strings, this guitar plays like butter. It is unusual, fine, collectible, and worthy of the finest player. Itis priced accordingly. ON CONSIGNMENT - INQUIRE	$22,000
Flammang	D-30 black top	Just arrived (USED) (EXC. +) Another great used guitar from a good customer. This is our first Flammang (David Flammang of Greene, Iowa). It was built in 2003 and it wears serial # 87. It is a lightly built exquisitely crafted guitar that is clearly built and set up to be played fingerstyle. It has no pickguard and the action is set at 5/64"! Unusual, at least for us, to think of a dreadnought as a "fingerstyle" guitar as a great majority of our dreadnoughts are heavily strung tools for hairy armed bluegrassers. This guitar is built with a bit of refinement that might disqualify it as a "bluegrass" guitar but it certainly excels at modern fingerstyle and blues and open tunings. It's a bit more pino than Pabst, a little more James Taylor than Jimmy Martin. Reminds us of a certain 1944 Martin D-18. Very light, advanced forward shifted X brace, scalloped. The fit and finish is about perfect, this lightly braced Adirodack topped guitar responds to a light touch and the tone is balanced, and the feel (1 and 23/32" nut width, V-neck, 5/64" low action)is un-real. ON CONSIGNMENT	$3,250

Martin	D28 GE Brazilian Rosewood (2003)	Just arrived (Used) Exc. condition. Martin introduced the D28GE series in 1999. It was the last production model from Martin to feature Brazilian rosewood. This particular guitar, # 454 of the series, was built in 2003. It features extremely fine straight grained quarterswan Brazilian rosewood and equally impressive Adirondack spruce. The sound is classic Martin D28 with warm bass, scooped mids, and great ka-chang. Really a beautiful example, featuring Waverly tuners, fossil ivory nut, saddle, and bridge pins - the factory "pepperoni" pick guard has been replaced with a nice Greven 40's style pick guard (seen in photos). The 2003 retail price (model is discontinued, Martin has no more Brazilian rosewood) was $15,000. This is an EXCEPTIONAL example and we think priced appropriately at $9,500. The guitar stands toe to toe with some of the top guitars here in the shop: Tony Rice Pro, H&D TDR, Bourgeois, etc. A very fine Martin guitar in very fine condition - one medium-deep scratch on the top - otherwise basically new appearance. If you want the classic Martin tone in a newer more reliable guitar - this is the guitar for you. ON CONSIGNMENT - New LOWER price.	$8,950
Martin	OOO-28VS Previously Owned by Norman Blake	Just arrived (Used) Exc. condition. We talk a lot here about 12 fret fret guitars, dreads and OOOs and how they capture that "Norman Blake" vibe. Well, here's a sure way to catch the Norman Blake vibe - buy this guitar that was previously owned by Norman Blake himself. OOO28-VS Martin (2002 model) used by Norman in determining the specs for the Norman Blake Signature model. Comes with documentation including Norman's warranty registration and a certificate indicating the guitar was owned by Norman. You'll also notice the nut has had some hillbilly surgery courtesy of Norman where he has modified the string spacing to bring the low E closer to the edge. Close to the edge indeed. Want Norman's vibe? Buy Norman's guitar. EI Rosewood, sitka spruce, 12 frets, 1 and 3/4" nut width, pyramid bridge with 2 and 5/16" spacing, slotted headstock. 25.4" scale. Waverly tuners, Fishman Rare Earth pickup installed. Medium strings. Medium-high action. Nice and warm with very powerful tone. Can be, and seems to prefer to be, flatpicked hard like a dread - a very strong Bluegrass and Old Timey OOO. You can hear Norman in there. ON CONSIGNMENT.	SOLD
Martin	OO-18V	Just arrived (Used) Exc. condition. A nice little 2005 OO18-V. Traded here on a Collings ukulele, this fine small guitar is the perfect thing for just sittin around and picking. Good strummer, good little flatpicker, nice little blues guitar. What's not to like?	SOLD
Martin	D-35	Just arrived (Used) Very Good condition. 1977 D-35 Great sounding, nicely set up D-35. Not as warm and tubby as your average D-35 - this one has some sizzle. It is a GREAT flatpicker, with really classic well developed Martin sound. Recent re-fret by Mannella Guitars. ON CONSIGNMENT	$2,150
Martin	D-45 Rare sunburst	(Used) Exc. condition. A beautiful *SUNBURST* D-45(unusual to say the least to see a sunburst D-45 from this era) from the venerable Martin custom shop. A 1984 Martin - truss rod equipped, and 25 years young. Great sounding, nicely set up D-45. Recent neck set, bridge work, and re-fret. Nice tall saddle, new frets, plays like butter. If you've always wanted one - and you know you have - here's a real nice one. Set up for flatpicking with light gauge strings. Great strummer or songwriter's guitar. A *great* stage guitar. Quite rare and quite nice. Great price for a custom shop sunburst D-45.	$5,450
Merrill Brothers	OM-18	Just arrived (USED) (EXC.++) A Merrill Brothers OM-18 (MB OM-18 serial # 162 to be exact) - It's a fact. Jim Merrill builds one of the highest quality reproductions of a vintage OM-18 ever made. It generally takes a very long time to get a Merrill, but it is worth the wait. It will be a pleasure to handle this consignment. Just one of the finest vintage style guitars we've ever come across. We've taken close up photos, but the person who buys this won't buy it for its looks. It's all about tone. Don't get me wrong, it looks great with fit and finish at a very high level, but it is pretty plain looking. It just looks like a 1932 OM-18, that's all. Oh, and it sounds like one too. Really, it's all that and a bag of chips.	SOLD
Merrill Brothers	OM-18 sunburst	Just arrived (USED) (EXC.) Another Merrill Brothers OM-18 - It's a fact. Jim Merrill builds one of the highest quality reproductions of a vintage OM-18 ever made. The last Merrill we had caused quite a stir and made believers of us all. Here comes another one, sunburst this time. Wanna play? Merrill builds a guitar that looks, sounds, and feels, EXACTLY like a vintage Martin. Moe had a 1932 Martin OM-18sb here ($26,500) and the Merrill OM-18sb (dark amber burst) looks like it, feels like it, and sounds as good or better. All the others (We have Collings OM1, OM1A, OM1ss and Bourgeois custom OM and Huss and Dalton TOM-A here) have less woof in the bottom and less warmth than a Martin (and a Merrill) but all have stronger mids and stronger trebles than the Martin and Merrill. The Merrill has the *same* scooped mids, strong bass, and relatively weak (let's call them "soft") trebles of the Martin. The Merrill sounds and feels like an old guitar. The neck feel is identical to the 1932 Martin. It is a superlative example of a vintage recreation. It (here comes the wit) does not have an original bone in its entire body (except a truss rod) as it is a reverse engineered (hate that term) *perfect* interpretation (better term) of a 1930's Martin. Priced to sell quickly. The Merrill is a 2002, serial # 000273	$5,150
Miller	Model D	Just arrived (Used) Exc. condition. Basically new. Coming in on consignment - mahogany dreadnought. A high end custom guitar, in a custom Cedar Creek case. A rare and highly desirable Ken Miller (of Tallahassee, FL) D, #105. Miller is one of the hottest small shop builders in the flat picking community today. # 105 is a standard D model with highly-figured mahogany back and sides, master grade Adirondack top, STAINLESS STEEL frets, Brazilian rosewood binding and fretboard trim, fossil walrus ivory pins, snake wood knobbed Waverlies, and a Brazilian peg head with a beautiful inlayed Oak leaf and acorn design. One of a kind, to be sure. And, oh yea, it's finished in VARNISH. The guitar is consigned here as the owner awaits delivery of his next Ken Miller guitar. The sound is balanced. The guitar can work for flatpicking and figerstyle. Fresh pics.	$3,200
Olson	Olson SJ	Just arrived (Used) Exc.++ condition. 2000 Olson SJ. Rosewood and cedar with tortoise binding, abalone top purfling, 1 and 3/4" nut width and standard (Olson installed) passive pickup. Basically a James Taylor model without cutaway and without wood binding. As guitars go, they don't get much better: Perfect fit and finish, dazzling woods, and great playability. Schaller tuners with ebony knobs. Near mint (looks unplayed) condition. Plays beautifully and sounds magnificent. $10,500 - On consignment.	SOLD
Rockbridge	OM/OOO Brazilian Rosewood	Just arrived (USED) (EXC.) A 2007 Rockbridge. Our first Rockbridge. This one has some fine straight grain Brazilian rosewood, a very thin finish, and some very fine Adirondack spruce on top. We're just getting to know it, but we'll say it is a delightfully even sounding guitar with a smoothness and warmth that immediately distinguishes it. The short scale makes it a very easy player and the Gibsonesque neck has an oil varnish satin finish. Some very well thought out features. We've spoken with Brian Calhoun, the builder, and he tells us that this guitar used his very highest grade woods. This guitar sold new in 2007 for $7,000. Used, it was priced at $5,250. It is now priced at $4,950 - a great price for a fine Brazilian rosewood guitar.	$4,950
Santa Cruz	F	Just arrived (USED) (EXC.) The Santa Cruz model F. A mid jumbo (J185) style guitar, this one with East Indian rosewood back and sides and sitka spruce top with nickel Schaller tuners. Excellent condition, nice sound, plays great.	$2,500
Santa Cruz	DPW	Just arrived (USED) (EXC.) The Santa Cruz model D/PW. Their "pre-war" style dreadnought in East Indian rosewood back and sides and sitka spruce top with open back SC tuners. Excellent condition, real nice sound, plays great. A real good strumming or bluegrass rhythm guitar. 1 and 11/16" nut. Includes original case. Clean!	SOLD
Santa Cruz	Tony Rice Pro	(SOLD) (USED) (VG++ ) We don't see a lot of Santa Cruz guitars here, but we always look forward to a "Tony Pro". Here is a model that always confirms just how good the folks at Santa Cruz are: a Tony Rice *Pro* model with wildly figured Brazilian rosewood and fine European spruce top. The TR Pro is built to Tony Rice's specs (slightly shorter scale, sharp "V" neck, enlarged soundhole, etc.) and is a remarkably warm and traditional sounding guitar. It sounds like an old Brazilian Martin. Some would argue that it sounds better, with less "boominess" than the revered herringbones. This guitar has a few light dings and scratches and one finish crack on the side (that does *not* penetrate the wood at all) and it has a strap button installed on the heel - not our favorite location - so all in all this guitar, though fabulous and collectible, probably appeals more to a *player* than the *collector* - since it has a few dings. And oh what a "player" she is! The guitar of a lifetime for someone. Consigned here while the customer contemplates a new custom Collings City Limits electric guitar. Extremely nice price for a Brazilian of this quality!	SOLD
Santa Cruz	Tony Rice Pro	Just Arrived (USED) (EXC. condition ) More Great Stuff! Coming in on trade, the ever-popular "Tony Pro". In Bluegrass circles, these guitars are held in the highest regard. Tony Rice re-defined modern Bluegrass flatpicking and this guitar is built to his specs: Very well quartered (STRAIGHT GRAIN) Brazilian rosewood and fine European spruce top with a hint of bearclaw. The remaining specs (slightly shorter scale, sharp "V" neck, enlarged soundhole, etc.) are typical of the model. The Brazilian rosewood and German spruce for this guitar were originally sourced by Steve Swan. This TR is slightly heavier than the average SC build, and the guitar has a very full voice with plenty of volume. As TR Pros go, one of the loudest and most percussive we have heard. A VERY, VERY, VERY fine Bluegrass guitar. $5,750	SOLD

Beard	Jerry Douglas Limited Edition Squareneck	(SOLD) (NEW) Announced at NAMM, 2008, Paul Beard and resonator virtuoso Jerry Douglas have collaborated on the design of this great new resophonic guitar. Production is limited to 50 instruments, and we are delighted to be in line for two of them. This is # 14 of 50. The body is a modified Beard E-style of all solid quilted Pomelle Sapelle mahogany for soaring high end and magnificent bass, with open body chamber and baffle, spider bridge & Beard spun cone, for the classic Beard open-body resonator guitar sound. Square profile mahogany neck, flame maple bindings, custom design coverplate, dual screened soundholes, ebony fretboard with custom inlay pattern & "Jerry Douglas" signature inlay, highest quality Waverly tuners, chrome plated hardware, custom Douglas family crest peghead inlay and super deluxe custom case with tooled leather trim. Larry Fishman, working with Beard and Douglas, has designed a completely new spider bridge pickup which incorporates special elements directly into the two ebony capped hard maple saddle pieces. Beard has modified the spider to allow for easy installation and adjustment of the saddle inserts. Then Fishman worked with Douglas to develop the new Fishman Jerry Douglas Aura resonator guitar pedal, which yields a sound more typical of a microphone, without the feedback issue of a microphone. The pickup and Aura pedal are included in this package. Read more about it right here. (SOLD) (DD)	SOLD

Bourgeois	Custom Dreadnought	(SOLD) (Exc. +++) Gadzooks! A Custom Dreadnought fit for Batman himself. "Dana Bourgeois strung this guitar up and pronounced it 'a kicking bluegrass guitar with LOUD, strong, clear bottom end, complex top end, that great crystalline tone ala Tony Rice'. Exotic Ziricote (Cordia dodencandra) back and sides with a European "Bearclaw" Spruce top, curly maple body bindings, gold Waverly open back tuners, satin finish neck with 1 and 23/32" nut width, zig zag backstrip, and an abalone rosette. Ziricote is most striking in appearance, with variegations much like the best old growth Brazilian rosewood and similar spider-webbing, pastoral scenes, and panoramas. Ziricote is heavier than most rosewoods, with a specific gravity of 0.95, it reminds us (visually and tonally) of Macassar Ebony and really good old Brazilian. We thought we liked Cocobolo until we met Ziricote. We had the chance to compare this guitar with a "reference" 1947 D28 recently. Everyone in the room agreed the Bourgeois was the better sounding guitar. Custom fit very cool fossil ivory bridge pins and strap button. Enough talk...this dark roast guitar is smokin! Makes our "top 10" list for the year. w/OHSC - Sorry to see this one go!! - To the Bat Cave, Robin!	SOLD
Bourgeois	JOM-150 Brazilian and Italian Spruce	(SOLD) (NEW) The JOM-150 is a new model from Dana Bourgeois and features a very fancy set of Presentation grade Brazilian rosewood with gold hardware and abalone rosette and a marvelous sounding Italian spruce top.

The JOM is the perfect versatile size, and with these wood, this is an amazing guitar. $7,500 - It is SOLD (KK)	SOLD

Bourgeois	Custom OM Pao rosewood	(SOLD) (NEW) A custom Vintage OM with 60 year old Pao rosewood back and sides, with premium Adirondack top, black/white top border, fancy cocobolo binding, 1 and 3/4" nut width, pyramid bridge. With the rapidly diminishing availability of Brazilian rosewood, all the builders are looking for appropriate substitutes for their premium guitars. About Pao rosewood, Dana says "Pao Rosewood is an african wood that looks a bit like Honduran Rosewood. Tonally it's in the same general category as Brazilian, Madagascar, Honduran Rosewood and Cocobolo. Within each of these species there is considerable variation in tone qualities, with condiderable overlapping between species. A good set of Pao can sound a lot like Brazilian Rosewood, or can have something unique that is rarely found in Brazilian." The first one of these was shown at IBMA and drew these comments: "This guitar was the sleeper of the show. You might imagine at a Bluegrass Show, an OM wouldn't get much attention but the 60+ year old West African Pao Rosewood set used on this guitar made it LOUD and rich and one of the best OM's we've heard. Dana has a few sets of this fine *old* wood. The sound is full of detail without being boomy at all - Brazilian style overtone with a thick sustain. SOLD (AD) Thanks Art!	SOLD

Classic looks and a depth of tone that rivals the finest archtops ever made. I am reaching for the right adjective here...but can't quite do it justice. It's so.... perfect, that's it...I am compelled to say that "perfect" is the appropriate adjective. We are very proud to have this guitar in the store.	SOLD

Bourgeois	Custom Dreadnought	(SOLD) Recent arrival (USED) (Exc.) Yoy! Things just keep getting better around here. What did Joe Namath used to say - "I can't wait until tomorrow because I get better looking every day?" - Well I can't wait to come into work every morning because the guitar inventory just gets better every day! What do we have here? For someone suffering from Guitar Acquisition Syndrome ("GAS") we present this high-octane sure-fire remedy. From Dana Bourgeois' "Luthier's Choice" series of a few years back, a Brazilian rosewood and Adirondack spruce dreadnought guitar that plays like butter and sounds like thunder. This is wildly figured Brazilian with some sap wood and it really has a kind of a "player's" flavor. I don't expect this one to go to some speculator interested in Braz rosewood futures, I expect someone to buy this guitar and play the pants off the thing. On consignment - not expected to hang around long, a custom D from Dana B. OHSC, strap button, nickel Waverlies, came with ivoroid pins, we've swapped them out for black buffalo horn - nice tone!

Bourgeois	Country Boy Deluxe	(SOLD) A Dreadnought fit for Bryan Sutton himself. Country Boy Deluxe Figured mahogany back and sides, Adirondack spruce top. These are such cool guitars. The combination of mahogany and adirondack spruce is just plain magic. What else is there to say? Moe's House of Mahogany invites you to sample another fine example of the mojo of mahogany. This guitar plays like butter. Here's what Mike Wong says about this model: "Dana likens his dreads to a big OM, and that is an apt description. This guitar is not for the faint of heart or tentative players. But for aggressive players, the harder you hit it, the more it gives it back with a dry, woody, punchy mahogany tone with seemingly endless headroom. You can hear Bryan Sutton play an identical guitar on his new CD 'Bluegrass Guitar'. " SOLD - This Country Boy is moving to Oxfordshire, England!	SOLD
Bourgeois	Country Boy Deluxe	(SOLD) A fine and exotic high end dreadnought from Dana Bourgeois. This Country Boy Deluxe features heavily quilted mahogany back and sides, rosewood binding, Gold Waverlies, a dazzling Brazilian rosewood peghead overlay, and that perfect 1 and 23/32" nut width. This guitar has one of the wildest "bearclaw" tops I have ever seen, and it's Adirondack spruce! Adirondack with this figure is rare indeed! Tone? This guitar is a monster. Loud, hard, fat, and rich. Play Wildwood Flower on this thing and it sounds like Bryan Sutton is in the room. This one went to a very good home indeed.	SOLD
Bourgeois	Vintage Country Boy Hide Glue	(SOLD) (NEW) We're well known for our custom mahogany dreadnoughts here. This is one of our "Vintage Country Boy" prototypes - with hide glue construction, premium Adirondack spruce, and banjo killer double scalloped bracing, with ebony bridge pins and ebony butt wedge. A *WONDERFUL* sounding light (4.0 pounds) dreadnought guitar with a lot of subtlety and character. More bass than a standard Country Boy, with additional warmth, sizzle, and sustain. Is it the bracing? Is it the glue? I suppose it's a bit of both. Dana's hybrid braced guitars are known for articulate bass, perfect balance, and responsiveness up and down the neck. That's why so many top players use them on stage and in the studio. With this custom project, we're thinking about the guy in the parking lot, the guy who wants buckets of volume, woofy bass, and headroom without losing those fat trebles.	SOLD
Bourgeois	Country Boy Adirondack Hide Glue	(SOLD) (NEW) So that we could have an interesting A-B comparison here, Dana built us this Country Boy with hide glue, but retained the standard Country Boy bracing. So you can drive, or fly, over here (hurry!) and try a standard Country Boy, this standard Country Boy (#4705) built with hide glue, and our "Vintage" (#4704 - hide glue double scalloped bracing) Country Boy and leave with your favorite. The guitar pictured here is the hide glue Country Boy with ivoroid bridge pins, Brazilian rosewood heel cap and mahogany butt wedge. This one has a slightly tighter bass than the Vintage CB, and we can feel the glue working. An exceptionally good guitar. Warm with great depth and complexity. List Price: $4,150	SOLD
Bourgeois	Vintage OM Custom	(SOLD) Vintage OM with Madagascar Rosewood ("MadRose") back and sides and superb Adirondack spruce top. Pretty exciting stuff. Oy!! It just keeps getting better around here. I am not kidding...A brilliantly executed orchestra model guitar with the rare blend of Madagascar rosewood and Master grade Adirondack spruce. The Madagascar has nice dark flecks. 1 and 3/4" nut width, ebony rectangular pyramid bridge (nice touch!!) and just a nice, light, right feeling guitar. A slam-dunk bargain price for an exotic heirloom guitar! If it lasts a month, I'll eat my hat. Fresh pics - you've heard about Dana's reputation for finding great Adirondack spruce? Well, check it out! As for the Madagascar rosewood, here are Dana's comments on it: "Madagascar rosewood will probably get you closest to the sound of Brazilian, and at a *much* lower price. Madagascar has much of the same rich overtone range as Brazilian, as well as a slightly "reverby" quality. It's a little heavier than Brazilian, so I have to be careful about selecting the right top and the right neck in order to keep the weight down and not adversly effect its response characteristics." How about a whole guitar for about the upcharge price for Brazilian alone? This guitar has all the right stuff. Great clarity, minimal crosstalk, great spunk. Top Ten stuff. Some builders charge $1,500 for Madagascar rosewood - Dana's got a stash and has been holding it at $700! Get it while it lasts. Sorry, SOLD.	SOLD
Bourgeois	JOMC Claro Walnut	(SOLD) G-r-e-a-t sounding custom Jumbo OM with soft cutaway and figured Claro walnut back and sides, Englemann spruce top. 1 and 3/4" nut width, great for flatpick or fingerstyle, strong and full.

SOLD - these Bourgeois guitars are flying out of here. Lots more on order. Wow, if this is what he's been up to...we can't wait to see what Dana Bourgeois has cooked up for the NAMM show.	SOLD
Bourgeois	The Cigar Box OMS - Cuban Mahogany	(SOLD) NAMM show Dana Bourgeois #1 *The Cigar Box* If you've spent a good amount of time cruising this website, you know we have a knack for ordering and snagging very special one-of-a-kind guitars. Some of it is luck, some of it is nimbleness. When Bourgeois sent us the (very impressive) list of nine guitars being made specifically for display at the Summer 2006 NAMM Show in Austin, we did not hesitate to jump on five of them! His NAMM models are always quite special. They will be shipped here after the Show (they will arrive here the week of July 20) Numero Uno will be an OMS (12 fret slothead) of CUBAN Mahogany and Adirondack spruce with herringbone trim, "medium" sunburst, KOA and black binding, koa heel cap, and pyramid bridge. 1 and 3/4" nut width, nickel Waverlies (3 on a plate) with ivoroid knobs. Bone pins, vintage pickguard. Moe can't wait for this one - he's never met a mahogany (or 12 fret) guitar he doesn't like, and Dana tells him CUBAN mahogany is special! ("...this Cuban Mahogany is denser than South American Mahogany and tends to lean a little towards the rosewoods in tone. Fundamentally *mahogany* but with more mid-range fullness & a quicker response.") A one-of-a-kind. No brainer. Saw it at the NAMM show - and it's the one that made the trip worthwhile! Note - Dana changed the specs at the last moment (luthier's artistic license we'll call it) to include a pickguard, and the best Waverly-Sloane bronze patina tuners with snakewood knobs. The guitar is not likely to last the first weekend. Moe would like to keep it himself! Many inquiries already, we are waiting for Fidel to call, but we hear he is under the weather - who will get this prize? (BM)	SOLD

A brilliantly appointed and handsome custom OM with a certain light bluesy, call it jazzy, attitude. The light warmth and responsiveness of a fine fingerstyle OM, but at the same time a "fingerstyle" guitar that is not afraid of a flatpick. A mid size guitar with a very big voice. A beautiful guitar that likes to be played. A guitar with *surprising* presence. While the guitar was being built, the customer decided he wanted to change the order to a Brazilian rosewood Soloist. Far be it from us to discourage someone from buying a Brazilian rosewood guitar - so we did build a second guitar of Brazilian but kept this order intact and we are glad we did as this guitar turned out precisely as we had hoped (and it is priced $4000 less than the comparable Brazilian version). A *magnificent* OMC.	SOLD
Bourgeois	OM Custom Sunburst	(SOLD) A custom order - Sunburst Custom OM to match the killer Country Boy SB above but on this one we selected nice flame figured mahogany with another *Bearclaw* figured sitka top,1 and 3/4" nut width, nickel Waverly tuners, tortoise binding, tiny MOP dots, a special Greven pickguard, a pyramid bridge, and one of Dana's fabulous bursts! Like the CB above, this OM is light and balanced and very dry. A real easy playing guitar. This completes the set! One beautiful guitar. Sorry, SOLD. Headed for Taiwan, ROC.	SOLD
Bourgeois	JOMC Jumbo Soloist Brazilian Rosewood	(SOLD) (NEW)A new take on Dana Bourgeois' classic fingerstyle guitar, the Soloist. First of its kind, this one is a "jumbo" version of the Soloist, so it is a Brazilian JOMC built to Soloist specs. A world class guitar. A fine Brazilian rosewood JOMC-Soloist with a high grade Adirondack spruce top. Dana took the spruce for the top of this guitar from the same stash that provided the top for Cody Kilby's new Boureois guitar. This guitar created quite a stir at the NAMM Show, with Scott Fore proclaiming it "the most versatile guitar in the Bourgeois booth." Great price! $7,195 Though a custom for the NAMM Show, (with Ziricote body binding, gold plated Waverly tuners, Brazilian rosewood butt wedge, bone pins, and Soloist heel inlay) Dana is referring to it as a regular model - with this being the first "Jumbo Soloist" INQUIRE	SOLD
Bourgeois	Vintage D cutaway custom Prototype	(SOLD) (USED) This is a very interesting guitar. It was built in 2003 as a prototype for the Doc Watson model (Doc is now playing a Bourgeois cutaway dreadnought that Ricky Skaggs bought him for his 80th birthday) and then sold at the 2003 Summer Namm Show as a NAMM guitar. It's a great guitar and the addition of a cutaway is a handy and unusual feature for a high end dreadnought (try to get Dana to build another one, no thank you!) but the key to the sound is the Honduran rosewood. We find Honduran, even moreso than Brazilian, to provide a crispness, clarity and volume that crosspicking flatpickers really like. We've had several Honduran rosewood Huss & Dalton guitars. This is our first Honduran Bourgeois and it is exceptional. This used guitar is in near mint condition and is set up with low action and light strings. It really rips, and it costs less than half as much as a Brazilian guitar! This is a great bluegrass guitar for a modern lead style player. It cuts like mahogany and reverberates like rosewood. Seriously.	SOLD
Bourgeois	Bourgeois Blues Slope D - All Mahogany	(SOLD) (NEW) We had a few of these (all koa and all mahogany) back in the early 90's ourselves and Dana is energized that we are going to resurrect the model with some 2006 flair! This new one will have "figured old harvest mahogany" ($500 upcharge) specially selected by Dana for tone (including the old harvest mahogany top). Tonally, we visit Leadbelly's closet with a "special" (modified ladder with a longitudinal brace on the treble side of the soundhole from which the ladders exend) braced slope D - designed for old time, blues and bottleneck style playing. This old and new at the same time custom guitar will have the modern 1 and 23/32" nut width and radiused fretboard (some of the early Bourgeois Blues had flat fretboards for Hawaiian style playing) and some other upgrades (highly figured flame koa binding, custom wood rosette, snakehead headstock with BRAZILIAN rosewood veneer, GOLD Waverly tuners with snakewood knobs, and BRAZILIAN rosewood fretboard and BRAZILIAN rosewood belly bridge, again for *tone*.) Ask Ry Cooder, your collection is not all it can be until you have you one of these. Very RARE!! We really love these guitars. We got de Bourgeois Blues....Dana calls this a shockingly beautiful guitar and an absolutely*great* slack key, open tuning or Drop D guitar that is ideal for someone who mixes flatpick, fingerstyle, and bottleneck. The Bourgeois website posted it as their Guitar of the Week. Indeed! We're all mighty excited, but Moe is just beside himself.	SOLD
Bourgeois	"The Banjo Killer"	(SOLD) (NEW) - For Dana Bourgeois' 30th Anniversary - a special edition run of thirty instruments modeled after the famous and highly revered 1995 Bourgeois custom slope D which Bryan Sutton has dubbed his "banjo killer." A slope D of very nicely figured mahogany with premium *bearclaw* sitka spruce top, red spruce bracing, maple bridge plate, ivoroid binding, snakehead headstock with Brazilian rosewood headstock overlay, Brazilian rosewood belly bridge and Brazilian rosewood fretboard (very nice!!), 1 and 23/32" nut width, old style handmade pickguard, satin finish neck, nickel Waverlies, and natural finish. Bryan Sutton has really distinguished himself as one of the top flatpickers in the business and this guitar, like Bryan, is a natural. Only thirty of these guitars will be built, and the labels will be signed by Bryan Sutton and Dana Bourgeois. We're in line for two of them, scheduled for early March 2006 and early April 2006, (the second will be sunburst) and we are very pleased indeed! Alright then - Let's kill a few banjos! This guitar is a "ten" on the cool meter. Big "old" sound...equally at home with country blues as with bluegrass flatpicking. Think Gibson slope D, think old time crushing volume, think fundamental oomph and roar. Boom, chuck! Kinda dark, kinda bright, kinda deep with great snap....we don't know exactly what to make of this guitar, but we can't stop playing it! We are pleased to see this very guitar featured on the Pantheon/Bourgeois website as "Guitar of the Week". We have to agree. Everyone who picks it up sounds different on it, and everyone sounds good. The banjos, meanwhile, have all scattered like scaredy cats toward the back of the store.	SOLD
Bourgeois	"The Banjo Killer" Pale Sunburst (custom)	(SOLD) (NEW) ETA: March 2006 - For Dana Bourgeois' 30th Anniversary - a special edition run of thirty instruments modeled after the famous and highly revered 1995 Bourgeois custom slope D which Bryan Sutton has dubbed his "Banjo Killer." A slope D (just like the other Banjo Killer described above) of generously figured flame mahogany with premium wide grain *bearclaw* sitka spruce top, red spruce bracing, maple bridge plate, ivoroid binding, snakehead headstock with Brazilian rosewood headstock overlay, Brazilian rosewood belly bridge and Brazilian rosewood fretboard (nice!!), 1 and 23/32" nut width, old style handmade pickguard, satin finish neck....yeehaw....but this one will have ivoroid knobbed nickel Waverlies, and that almost scary cool and sensuous pale sunburst finish that Dana is known for. Bryan Sutton has really distinguished himself as one of the top flatpickers in the business and this guitar, like Bryan, is the real deal. Only thirty of these guitars will be built, and the labels will be signed by Bryan Sutton and Dana Bourgeois. Feeling collectible? This, to date, is the only sunburst version of the Banjo Killer. A very beautiful, unusual and extremely exotic sunburst. Let the force be with you. If I were a banjo, I'd be nervous. $4,850 (Custom sunburst) - SOLD before it arrived. Holy Bearclaw Batman Mighty, Mighty fine guitar!! Just a killer sunburst for a "killer" guitar. Just sit yourself down before this thing makes your knees weak and your banjos tremble.

It will be the second of two of the sunburst Banjo Killers. We expect it to be sold LONG before it arrives. Indeed! Sorry - this guitar is SOLD. What a marvelous guitar - great Brazilian rosewood bridge and fretboard, gorgeous sunburst over an evenly distributed bearclaw top - just a pleasure to behold. We took a really nice banjo on trade on this Banjo Killer guitar - curiously appropriate, wouldn't you say? (Sold) (BM)	SOLD
Bourgeois	"The Banjo Killer" Pale Sunburst (custom)	(SOLD) (NEW) - For Dana Bourgeois' 30th Anniversary - a special edition run of thirty instruments modeled after the famous and highly revered 1995 Bourgeois custom slope D which Bryan Sutton has dubbed his "banjo killer." Well...Well!! We just got off the phone with the Bourgeois folks (and great folks they are!) and here's the scoop: Since we sold more of the Banjo Killers than anyone else, they have graciously decided to give us the last of the batch (#30 of 30) in recognition of all the banjos we've helped to kill. A prestigious prize indeed. So if you've got one more pesky banjo that you've been unable to eradicate....run to your phone and call and reserve this last weapon of mass distinction. Note: We apologize to several folks who called and asked if more BK's were coming. We did not expect to get another so PLEASE call back. We're back in the banjo killing bidness!! We've decided to make this last one a PALE SUNBURST - we sure love that look, and there are only two others like it (both came through here) $ 4845.00 ETA: early November - Sorry, the last Banjo Killer is RESERVED!

Bourgeois	The Cigar Box OMS - Cuban Mahogany	(USED) NAMM show Bourgeois #1 *The Cigar Box* If you've spent a good amount of time cruising this website, you know we have a knack for ordering and snagging very special one-of-a-kind guitars. Some of it is luck, some of it is nimbleness. When Bourgeois sent us the (very impressive) list of nine guitars being made specifically for display at the Summer 2006 NAMM Show in Austin, we did not hesitate to jump on five of them! His NAMM models are always quite special. This is an OMS (12 fret slothead) of CUBAN Mahogany and Adirondack spruce with herringbone trim, "medium" sunburst, KOA and black binding, koa heel cap, and pyramid bridge. 1 and 3/4" nut width, nickel Waverlies (3 on a plate) with ivoroid knobs. Bone pins, vintage pickguard. Dana tells us CUBAN mahogany is special! ("...this Cuban Mahogany is denser than South American Mahogany and tends to lean a little towards the rosewoods in tone. Fundamentally *mahogany* but with more mid-range fullness & a quicker response.") A one-of-a-kind. No brainer.We sold this one new last year and it is back on consgnment as we build another custom guitar for its owner(BM)This is a great sounding exotic mahogany guitar - goes flatpick or fingerstyle equally well. Superb guitar. SOLD(BD)	SOLD
Bourgeois	Bourgeois Blues Slope D - All Mahogany	(USED) We had this custom model built in 2006. This Bourgeois Blues Slope D has "figured old harvest mahogany" ($500 upcharge) specially selected by Dana for tone (including the old harvest mahogany top). Tonally, we visit Leadbelly's closet with a "special" (modified ladder with a longitudinal brace on the treble side of the soundhole from which the ladders exend) braced slope D - designed for old time, blues and bottleneck style playing. This custom blues guitar will have the modern 1 and 23/32" nut width and radiused fretboard (some of the early Bourgeois Blues had flat fretboards for Hawaiian style playing) and some other upgrades (highly figured flame koa binding, custom wood rosette, snakehead headstock with BRAZILIAN rosewood veneer, GOLD Waverly tuners with snakewood knobs, and BRAZILIAN rosewood fretboard and BRAZILIAN rosewood belly bridge, again for *tone*.)

We find it works well with medium gauge tuned one step low (to D.) The Bourgeois website posted it as their Guitar of the Week. Indeed! We're all mighty excited, but Moe is just beside himself.	SOLD
Bourgeois	Bourgeois Blues Slope D	(SOLD) (USED) Moe welcomes yet another HOG top classic! This one is a custom Dana Bourgeois Slope D. We've known the blues and we've had several of these Bourgeois Blues guitars, often in mahogany and once in koa. We're told that Ry Cooder is particularly fond of his Blourgeois Blues guitar. Generally this model is a highly specialized ladder braced blues guitar designed primarily for bottleneck use. This particular one has HIGHLY figured mahogany (Old Moe LOVES this mahogany) all over and X bracing inside, so it's more of a general purpose flat top. Moe loves playing big old strumming chords on it. G Em C D. Sta-ay just a little bit long-er. It's warm, it's strong. It's a late night we've been drinking guitar, one more round before the sun comes up, wahhddya say? It can be played hard and it is forgiving and smooth all the way to the top. When it tops out, it is still warm, it doesn't get shrill like an over-driven spruce top. It is a singularly woody and wonderful guitar. It also has an L.R. Baggs Active Element pickup in it, so you can plug it in and play out. Looks cool, and sounds as good as it looks. Plays well with others. At home in almost any musical environment. Trust Moe, it'll cure any blues you've got. ON CONSIGNMENT - SOLD	SOLD

On consignment - not expected to hang around long, a custom Braz D from Dana B. This is second of these that we have handled -There's something magical about Brazilian rosewood. You know there is.

Bourgeois	(Custom) "Vintage" Country Boy	SOLD (NEW) We're pretty well known for our custom mahogany dreadnoughts here.

And we've seen our share of NGCs, SCs, and all the rest. Well here's our latest: a super secret skunkworks project between Moe and Dana Bourgeois. It will be a "Vintage" Country Boy with Honduran mahogany back and sides, Adirondack spruce top, double scalloped "Banjo Killer" X bracing (inspired by and based on the popular Bourgeois Banjo Killer series) all tied together with a few new tricks and HIDE GLUE construction. 1 and 23/32" nut width, tortoise binding, ebony bridge pins, vintage stain, satin finish neck, mahogany butt wedge, Waverly tuners, set up for bluegrass flatpicking. A lightly built (just under 4.2 pounds) traditional foward shifted dreadnought. Dana's hybrid braced guitars are known for articulate bass, perfect balance, and responsiveness up and down the neck. That's why so many top players use them on stage and in the studio.

The list price will be $4,450 - Just arrived: A *WONDERFUL* sounding guitar with a lot of subtlety and character. More bass than a standard Country Boy, with additional warmth and sustain. The more we play it, the more nuance we discover - really a great *player's* guitar - really has nice snap and growl.	SOLD

Bourgeois	Ricky Skaggs model	(SOLD) (USED) - We get these every now and then - always a popular model. The Bourgeois Ricky Skaggs model, a rosewood and sitka D28 style guitar with great modern punch and playability. This one went through our shop and got a fresh neck reset, a setup, and a few frets levelled. It plays like butter now with nice low action and a nice tall compensated saddle. Great tone - currently set up with light gauge Elixirs but the guitar can handle medium gauge strings real well if preferred. Very clean condition, top has darkened nicely and the tone has mellowed and matured. Real fine flatpicker or strummers guitar - warm but not boomy. Just right! ON CONSIGNMENT (SOLD)	SOLD
Bourgeois	Custom Vintage OM Mad Rose	(SOLD) The last one of these we had was a-m-a-z-i-n-g. This Bourgeois orchestra model guitar will feature *premium* Madagascar Rosewood (most MadRose guitars have 4 piece backs - this guitar will have a *two* piece back of premium straight grain Madagascar Rosewood) and Adirondack spruce top. Waverly tuners, 1 and 3/4" nut and cool ebony pryamid bridge. Fantastic OM guitar - really an impressive and distinctly *muscular* OM with great sustain, volume, overtone, ring, and ka-changg. This OM seems to really like a flatpick. Dana set this one up slightly stiffer (4/32") to push that great set of Adirondack spruce. This thing really has the fullness of a larger guitar in a very comfortable package. Like Dana says "MadRose is 80% of the tone (of Brazilian rosewood) at 20% of the price." Really an overtone rich box with superb articulation. A light guitar with headroom to spare. Will it last the first weekend? No!! MadRose!! - SOLD - Thank You Ermanno!	SOLD
Bourgeois	Vintage D - Brazilian	(SOLD) (NEW) Magnificent sounding NAMM show Dana Bourgeois Vintage Dreadnought - AAA grade figured Brazilian rosewood with "premium" (oh my!!) grade Adirondack spruce top. Vintage herringbone look, sound, and feel. Ivoroid/herringbone body trim, zig-zag backstrip, ivoroid heel cap and butt wedge. Squares and diamonds inlay. Nickel Waverly tuners, square headstock with Brazilian headstock overlay. 1 and 23/32" nut width. Built with extra care and jeu de vie for the 2006 NAMM Show in Los Angeles. All the extra reverb, depth and articulate sparkle that a well voiced Brazilian rosewood guitar should have. Looks old, sounds old. All adirondack spuce should look like this. Done, put a fork in it. Just a great guitar. I'll try to get some nicer pics when we get a break in the weather - this marvelous guitar deserves to strut its stuff and be photographed in natural lighting. Beyond "nice", this is one of the top ten guitars to come through here in a year. Tonally magnificent.	SOLD
Bourgeois	Custom DB Signature Dreadnought - Brazilian	(SOLD) (NEW) We had three or four buyers disappointed when the magnificent sounding NAMM show Dana Bourgeois Vintage Dreadnought (above) sold out from under them. We asked Dana to find another set of Brazilian (and *premium* Adirondack) to build a comparable guitar. It took a few months, but he has called with a set about which he claims: "..We found one set of Brazilian that is really special (presentation grade) but we'll let you have it for your customer that lost the NAMM guitar if you want... This is another unique set. Quartersawn, old growth (tight grain), that will sound as great as the one for NAMM (easily)." We can't argue with that....this will be a custom DB Signature guitar with gold hand-engraved Waverly tuners, ivory inlay, special multicolor DB herringbone and backstrip, wood rosette, one of a kind. - SOLD (MP)	SOLD
Bourgeois	JOMC Rosewood/sitka Bearclaw	(SOLD) (NEW) The super verstaile, great sounding standard JOMC "Jumbo OM cutaway" model from Dana Bourgeois. Always a shop favorite, this model does everything well and never hangs around long. East Indian rosewood back and sides, heavily *bearclawed* Sitka spruce, snakehead headstock, Waverly tuners, 1 and 23/32" nut. Flatpick it, fingerpick it. Just pick it.	SOLD
Bourgeois	JOMC Rosewood	(SOLD) We love these jumbo OM guitars. They do everything well. Strong, full, loud, deep, clear, crisp. Bluegrass, flatpick, drumsticks, fingerpicks. Pick it, strum it, slap it. This one has East Indian rosewood back and sides, highly figured *bearclaw* Sitka spruce top, abalone rosette, 1 and 23/32" nut width. Very fast satin finish neck, Bourgeois snakehead headstock with ebony overlay, nickel Waverly tuners, ebony belly bridge. The closer you look at these Bourgeois guitars, the more impressed you become. Want intonation? Look at the sculpted compensation on the 1/8" bone saddle. Be honest - doesn't that snakehead headstock make perfect sense? Look how the strings pull straight across the nut. Isn't it nice to avoid that near collision of the 5th string against the 6th string post? Square headstocks are for squares. Nice! We've had three guys (Sigmund, Jim, and Dan, great guitarists, all) over the past three days tell us this is the best guitar in the store. This shopkeeper cannot disagree with customers who gush over his wares. It is a perfectly executed design and it will not be here long...I cannot wait to order one in Madagascar Rosewood and Adirondack. Watch these pages for a MadRose snakehead JOMC. SOLD (C M)	SOLD
Bourgeois	JOMC Madagascar Rosewood	(SOLD) We love Bourgeois jumbo OM guitars. They do everything well. This one, as promised, was ordered with exotic "MadRose" Madagascar rosewood back and sides and Dana's best Adirondack spruce top. Finish it off with that cool snakehead headstock, abalone rosette, and the perfect 1 and 23/32" nut width. We also like the feel of the satin finish neck and the clean look of no fretboard inlay. This guitar represents enormous bang for the buck. This guitar would be $7850 in Brazilian as opposed to $4850 with Madagascar - We agree with Dana Bourgeois and his comments regarding Madagascar rosewood versus Brazilian rosewood: "you get 80% of the tone for 20% of the price" - that's sounds about right, and the person who ends up with this guitar will be singing Dana's praises! This guitar has the dense reverby ring of a good Brazilian dreadnought, with a certain stiff punchiness right where a flatpicker wants it. And it works equally well for fingerstyle. Full and lush without any mush. $4,850 SOLD (C M) A Bourgeois Two-fer! Thanks Charlie.	SOLD
Bourgeois	Custom OM Englemann and Mahogany	(SOLD) #5624 Custom guitar from Dana Bourgeois - Moe's House of Mahogany grabs another first round draft pick in this custom Bourgeois orchestra model with *highly* figured mahogany and AAA grade *Englemann* spruce, 1 3/4" nut width, and just for kicks, vividly figured koa body binding. Don't forget the Brazilian rosewood headstock overlay and Waverly tuners with ivoroid knobs. Light as a feather, mighty fine weather. For your fingerstyle pleasure, we present this parlor-light precious time machine. Reminds us of the 1930's. Really a fine, super light fingerstyle guitar with lots of sparkle and responsiveness. $3,995 SOLD	SOLD
Beard	Model E Hog Top	(SOLD) (NEW)We are very familiar with this model, the powerful Beard model E, but we usually think of it as a maple instrument.

Beard	Beard Model E Maple	(SOLD) (USED) We see just a few of these per year - and they usually go out as fast as they come in. The industry standard for raw power and tone in a square neck resonator. The one to go to war with. This one is real clean - we sold it new (last year) and the owner is a fastidious and gentle sort. Traded back on a Collings mandolin. Just arrived - fresh pics. VERY NICE!!!! SOLD	SOLD
Beard	Road-O-Phonic lap steel	(SOLD) Lap-style-travel electric/acoustic resonator guitar.

Collings	AT16 Archtop	(SOLD) (NEW) - Few and far between....and WELL worth the wait. One of a handful of archtops guitars that Bill Collings will share with us this year. Sunburst with bound fingerboard and peghead. Special set of "old looking" maple for the back. Gold Waverlies with ivoroid knobs - bound ebony pickguard. If interested in this VERY RARE opportunity please call ASAP as we don't expect it to last the first weekend. A tremendous guitar and a superb investment. Shut my mouth!	SOLD
Collings	AT-16 Blonde	(SOLD) (NEW) Just when we think Collings has peaked, we've seen it all, and it can't get any better - he drops a new archtop on us that just pushes our re-set switch. Our expectations are high, but he's knocked us out and re-booted us in modern Texas style. Alex at Collings warned us that it was outrageously beautiful and that he is in "love" with this guitar. Strong words from a man who knows a thing or two about love and about lumber. There is so much cross grain interesecting with straight grain, the back of this guitar looks like a checkerboard. Checkers, anyone? There are no words for the sound. An archtop for Texas Red. An axe for the Ages. Gawd's own guitar. Didn't last a week. (SOLD) (CA)	SOLD
Collings	16" Archtop	(SOLD) (NEW) Few and far between. Every time I talk with Collings (about twice a week) the conversation concludes with them asking "anything else we can do for you?" To which I whistfully respond, "yes, send me an archtop". They laugh. I laugh. Well, this week they called my bluff and sent us this beauty, the 39th Collings 16" archtop. I cannot fully describe our respect for these instruments. A true modern classic. Jazz, Texas Swing, Gypsy. I don't care. The best L-5 you've ever played. The Collings archtop is just a screaming bargain at $8,995. This one has an Adirondack spruce top and has incredible focus and headroom. A very serious guitar - going to an equally serious man. $8995 SOLD (MC)	SOLD
Collings	OM1AV-SB VARNISH	(SOLD) (USED) OK speed dialers, let's see who is fastest on the draw on this one! We are taking on consignment what many consider the ideal Collings guitar - the most versatile, the best sounding, and best looking guitar in the line. Interested?

Collings	D2 Brazilian custom VARNISH	(SOLD) (NEW) Business seems to be returning to pre-crash levels here and we feel that the worst is over and good economic times lie ahead. To celebrate that, we offer this guitar. We selected the special wood for this guitar in early 2006 (after Collings warned us that their Brazilian supply was being quickly depleted) and scheduled it to be built and delivered here in 2009. Well, here it is! It is everything a guitar should be, and since we'll never trust the banks and stockbrokers again, perhaps it is also the wisest investment out there. It is what it is: A Collings D2 (no herringbone) with amazing style two sunburst, AAA (straight grain) Brazilian rosewood, very high-grade (tight grain) Adirondack spruce, Adirondack braces, light build (no tongue brace) 1 and 23/32" nut width, fretboard and peghead binding, a torch inlayed in the peghead veneer (which is also Brazilian rosewood) and VARNISH (of course) So...even if you are not in the market for a guitar like this, please look over the pictures and enjoy it with us. It is quite special and we should all share some good news. Didn't make it through the first week. SOLD!	SOLD
Collings	D3 custom Varnish	(SOLD) (NEW) A very special project, for a very special man, one year in the making. Another oh so magnificient Collings guitar from that dwindling stash of premium Brazilian rosewood there that we like so much - straight grain, loaded with color, and sonically superior. A real treasure - this set is AAA grade all the way, baaaby. So here we go: D3BaaaA custom - AAA grade Brazilian rosewood, ULTRA high grade select Adirondack spruce, Adirondack braces, no tongue brace, 1 and 3/4" nut width, Vintage Now neck and bridge, torch inlaid in the headstock, strap button installed, cut through saddle, and ( need we say more?)the elixir of the Gawds: Bill Collings' VARNISH finish. Just a spectacular custom guitar that requires no explanation. About as good as it gets. What a pleasure it will be to deliver this guitar to its deserving owner. Thank You Ken!	SOLD
Collings	D1A VARNISH	(NEW) Great Googlie-Mooglies and Holy Moley. Hey...seems like the economy has skipped a beat. Anyone notice? Well, here is one guitar that seems to be recession-proof, however. We call it *the one* - the Big Daddy - the Collings D1A in va-va-va-varnish. This thing eats lesser guitars for lunch. Seriously - there are guitars and then there are varnish Collings guitars. You know what we mean, and we mean what we say! This guitar was ordered in the Fall of 2007, took a good long time to get here, and sold immediately. Master grade Adirondack, no tongue brace, 1 and 3/4" nut width. Four pounds of fun. Holy Grail material, no foolin! (RG)	SOLD
Collings	D1A VARNISH	(NEW)The Big, the bold, the beautiful. Perhaps the ultimate dreadnought guitar. No one is quite the same after experiencing one of these. It's hard to go home to brand X after you've been vexed by the voodoo of the varnish. The Collings D1A, buttered in varnish with the Vintage Now neck and bridge. The Vintage Now neck guitars always surprise us with just a bit more "red meat" in the voice. A powerful guitar. Yee doggies. 1 and 3/4" nut width. SOLD (BC)	SOLD
Collings	D1A VARNISH	(NEW) One of our customs - a lightly built (4.0 pounds) D1A with no tongue brace, 1 and 23/32" nut width, 2 and 1/4" saddle spacing, tortoise binding all over with crosscut ivoroid purfling, torch inlayed headstock, dots at 5,7,9, and 15 and that handsome Collings logo at fret # 12 . Finds its very impressive voice in a high grade (no streaks) wide grain Adirondack spruce. And oh yes, varnish. Ooh that smell. It's loud, it's proud. Bang, Zoom, and Gadzooks. It makes other guitars seem small by comparison. A *GREAT* one. SOLD (JB)	SOLD
Collings	D1A VARNISH	(NEW) One of our customs - a lightly built (just over 4 pounds) D1A with no tongue brace, 1 and 23/32" nut width, 2 and 3/16" saddle spacing, tortoise binding all over with crosscut ivoroid purfling, style 3 backstrip, and a set of perfect Adirondack spruce for the top, stuff you rarely see these days, clear and wide with no streaks. Ebony headstock overlay with tortoise bound headstock and va, va, va, varnish. It arrived today. Just an *amazing* sounding guitar - with absolutely perfect Adirondack spruce. A joy to behold. We willed it, Collings nailed it. Whadda guitar!!! It didn't make it through the first afternoon. This will be the last of our stock 2007 varnish orders - the last one ordered at the "old" varnish and Adirondack pricing. $5,850 The next one will be $ 900 more. SOLD - headed to Canada(GT)	SOLD
Collings	D1A Varnish custom	(SOLD) (NEW) And off to the varnish huff room we go! Don't wait up. Another one of our customs. The D1A, the one to have when you are having only one. We picked the woods for this one. The guitar that needs no 'splainin' Lucy. Style 3 backstrip, no tongue brace, 1 and 23/32" nut width, 2 and 1/4" (CW style) saddle spacing, fretboard and headstock binding (tortoise) and the totally torchified headstock (pearl torch inlaid in headstock veneer.) I am getting giddy already. VARNISH! Oh...and sunburst! (List: $8,250) Should be here 4/17 Note: Arrived early, just in time for tax day. Listen. We've had fifty D1As. More than a dozen have been varnish. *This* light (3.9 pounds) box of joy is the best D1A we have heard. Those who ask that we call you when something *very special* arrives? Consider yourself called. $8,250 SOLD(GS)	SOLD
Collings	D1A VARNISH custom	(SOLD) (NEW) We hear there is a recession, but we have chosen not to participate. One of our customs - VARNISH D1A with extremely fine Adirondack spruce top. Custom features include style 3 backstrip, NO TONGUE BRACE, and 1 and 3/4" nut. This is a pretty simple guitar as guitars go. Simple and powerful. So we'll not say more. $6,725	SOLD
Collings	D1A VARNISH Sunburst	(SOLD) (NEW)Just arrived. The guitar that can do no wrong, from the company that is incapable of building a bad guitar. The one to have when having only one. A reward for a life well lived. A good reason to wake early and play guitar before work, or to skip work altogether. Another one of our custom D1A VARNISH guitars. This one is mightly special. Here are the vitals: D1A with style one sunburst, 1 and 23/32" nut width, 2 and 1/4" CW style saddle spacing, tortoise binding all over with the neck and fingerboard binding including the crosscut purfling and style 3 backstrip. There is so much more. The guitar has a torch on the headstock, which renders the builder and brand incognito, so we emblazon the 12th fret with a pearl Collings logo. The guitar has no tongue brace and its body has been slathered with varnish yielding a tone that is beyond magnificent. In a word, the guitar is perfect. Don't let our low key description fool you, this is a guitar of a lifetime. Ordered for store stock. Let us take this opportunity in a crummy economy to thank the folks at Collings Guitars for keeping us proud and building the finest guitars in the world. In the home run derby of life, the man from Austin is king. Play it with me: TAKE me out to the ball game....
Collings	D1A - VARN	(SOLD) (NEW) Truly, the model that keeps the bills paid here at Moe's House of Mahogany, the ever-popular Collings D1A. This one washed in the mud, vitalized by the varnish, made whole by the Holy Grail, that combination of mahogany and Adirondack spruce that really gets the Goose. Call us Krazy. Being convinced, committed to, and koo-koo about mahogany as we are, we like to dress these in style. This is a basic D1A for which we requested "perfect" wide grain Adirondack spruce for the top and perfect free-of-figure mahogany for the back. To the basic D1A, we've added fretboard and peghead binding and a fancy torch on the headstock. And a 1 and 3/4" nut width, of course. We think a world class guitar deserves that kind of finery, and so do you. One serious guitar. Ready?	SOLD
Collings	OM 41 custom Brazilian	SOLD (USED) Few and far between. Getting more and more rare. A tangible asset. A trophy for a life well lived. A cause for joy. Just a dead mint condition AAA grade Brazilian rosewood Collings OM, this one dolled up with "41" style abalone top border, 42 style fretboard inlay, a flowerpot headstock inlay, and AMAZINGLY rich sounding Red spruce top that looks like something salvaged off the Titanic. This guitar has ENORMOUS bass and volume. It is a killer of smaller guitars. It is ruthless and bold. It is a prize. It should last a day or two. Note: It should have, but it did not! Please hold your calls, we have a winner. (HH)	SOLD
Collings	OM custom Brazilian	(USED) This kind of *lucky find* is often treated as "private stock" here - and often a guitar as unique as this does not get listed, or we should say, it sells before we get it listed. We keep a "Want List" and some treasures disappear before our loquacious webmaster gets wind of them. We have decided to go ahead and prominently list this one just so we can all have some fun with it, while we check with Collings to see exactly what we have. Well, here's what we have. It is a marvelous one-of-a-kind custom model - would probably be designated an OM3HBA.. "something" if we ordered one like it today, but we'd be unable, without a time machine, to find this kind of old Growth Brazilian rosewood (the pics speak for themselves - this is some extremely exotic and fine wood) that was a rare find when they decided to use it in 1994 - the top is private stock GERMAN spruce (verified by Collings) and the inlays are a unique banjo-style design done by Tom Ellis at Precision Pearl Inlay. No need to throw adjectives at this guitar - it is what it is - a well kept thirteen year old Collings custom Brazilian rosewood OM guitar with unique engraved inlays and a marvelous pedigree. It's one of the finer things in life. It's a man with a plan. And, it has been SOLD.	SOLD
Collings	OM2Gss German Short Scale	(SOLD) (NEW) Here's a lightly built Collings OM2 (no herringbone) topped with German spruce. The short scale makes this one purrr. 1 and 3/4" nut width, of course. SOLD Headed to Hawaii!	SOLD
Collings	O2MRG MadRose German	(SOLD) (NEW) Been waiting a year for this sweet thing. It was worth the wait. An O body Collings in Madagascar Rosewood with a fine German spruce top. We eliminated the herringbone (nod to JR) but we did add a style three backstrip, a pyramid bridge and an abalone rosette to make this unique and classy little guitar. Make no mistake, she is small, but she is posessed of tone and sustain that rivals even the finest OM guitars. The ultimate couch guitar. The ultimate retirement gift. Who gets to open this very special gift? SOLD (FN)	SOLD
Collings	OO-42BaaaA	(SOLD) (NEW) It was on a trip to Staten Island, about fifteen years ago - the first Collings guitar I ever played was a Brazilian rosewood OO-42. It touched something deep inside and elevated my impression of what a guitar could be. It pretty much ruined me for what I was playing at the time and set me on a journey and career path that culminated in doing everything I can to promote those profound Austin guitar wizards and evangelize their instruments. Well, just for fun and old times sake then, let's conjur up a AAA grade Brazilian OO-42 for store stock while such a thing is still possible. Note: It is no longer possible to get Brazilian like this from Collings so that someone can walk in here and have *their* life changed. I'm excited. Wanna buy some portable magic? Here is the truth. This guitar is positively spectacular - quite possibly the *best* sounding fingerstyle guitar in this, or any other, guitar shop. Want to join a very small club of very lucky people who own one of the finest things money can buy? Here's your ticket. With Brazilian rosewood availability at an historic low, I can't think of anything else to say. $11,900. Stock market a little bumpy? This one is better than an S&P Index Fund. Sell your Bear Sterns stock, buy the Brazilian. SOLD	SOLD
Collings	OO-42 BaaaG Brazilian custom	(NEW)Ahhh 2007. Remember back when we still had a faith in the banks and stock market, and life was so simple? Back when we knew who we could trust? Back when we could still order Brazilian rosewood Collings guitars? Well here's a small step back in time for you... one of the last of our 2007 Brazilian stock orders, a custom OO-42 with extremely dark and figured AAA grade Brazilian rosewood and perfect German spruce on top. Custom features include a torch inlay on that cool slotted headstock, of course, as all classic OO guitars should have, and a 1 and 13/16" nut width. It is a guitar to grow old with. It will fare better than your GM stock. The Brazilian is loaded with color from oranges to greens. Oh...it's good. The guitar sounds exactly as you'd expect it to. Ferociously loud, with ringing depth and fullness and sustain with an overtone that only Brazilian can deliver.	SOLD
Collings	OOO3BaaaGss custom Brazilian German VARNISH	(SOLD) (NEW) A certain melancholy overcomes us as we greet our last ten or twelve Collings Brazilians. As you know by now, there will be no more. These orders, placed several years ago for fine AAA Brazilian guitars, are a weekend at the World Series for us, they are the highlight of our daze. As the media predicts the tenth recession of the last three, and cynics accuse us of driving the price of Brazilian through the roof, we ponder these rare and precious great guitars and smaller issues dissipate with the melting snow. We present this lightly crafted *classic* OOO Collings in AAA grade Brazilian rosewood with the lovliest of German spruce tops, a SHORT SCALE, a pryamid bridge, a slotted headstock with 1 and 3/4" nut width and the three on a tree bronze Waverly tuners. Did we fail to mention the abalone rosette, the CW pickguard, and that sonic soup, that surreal syrup of sound, the Collings VARNISH finish? The varnish over the Collings logo makes it look like 100 year old stained glass Ahhh, forgive us for getting giddy over a guitar like this. It's pretty, but oh my gawd...it just sounds AMAZING. The varnish finish imparts a deep warm, aged sound that is just unobtainable in a new lacquer guitar. The Brazilian is fine, but the German top is *superb*! It feels loose. It sounds old. It purrs like a Porche and it vibrates in ones lap.	SOLD

Collings	C-10 Cowboy	(SOLD) The economy is lousy, but business is great. What does a shop owner do? Should he buy GE stock at $11 a share (er..make that $9 a share...er... make that $6 a share) or should he continue to dance with the one that brung him? Should he hunker down and seek cover until the recession blows over? Or should he continue to invest in high quality guitar inventory? This guitar has the answer painted right on the top - turn off the TV, flush the Blackberry, strap on your guitar and YODEL with the COYOTES. Not a thing I can do about Wall Street or the World Bank, but I can sing Cowboy songs until the cows come home. Collings is building nine more of these extremely limited Cowboy C-10 guitars. We are gleeful that we are getting three of them and Cowgirl Mary Mary is riding the first one to a rodeo in coastal Maine. We'll have two others, but not for long, I suspect. Buy one for your grandson, and enjoy it in the meantime. Photo credit to our pardner Duolian from the Collings forum. Geoff got the one from the NAMM Show, and he is one good natured cowboy, and we thank him for the nice photo, #1 in our link, to which we have added five more of our own new arrival. Playfully kitchy, collectible, GREAT sounding, and a Collings Camper-style C-10 through and through. Yippie Yi Yo Kai Yay! SOLD (MM)	SOLD

Just a delightful small guitar with a sophisticated dark voice and deep sustain. A cowboy guitar for a mighty sophisticated cowboy. Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay	SOLD
Collings	C-10 Cowboy	(SOLD) The economy is lousy, but business is great. For this we offer no apology or explanation except to say a great guitar is timeless, recession-proof, and necessary survival gear. This guitar speaks for itself, on so many levels. It is fun. It is funny. But don't let that fool you. There is something special about the sound of these modest mahogany masterpieces. Ask anyone who has played one, the Cowboys are special - the ultimate mahogany C-10. Heck, ask John Sebastian. He owns two of them. He believes in magic. This is a grownup's guitar, and the sound that it creates is magic and timeless. Trust John: "It makes you feel happy like an old-time movie...it'll free your soul.." This will be the second of three Cowboys coming to our humble lumber emporium. The first one sold before it arrived. $6,350 This second one was in stock for a full twelve hours, but it has in fact, SOLD to "Cowboy Camper" his own bad self (shout out to our good pals on the Collings forum!)

Simply an investment and museum grade Collings dreadnought model guitar. It's a beauty alright, but the SOUND is even more exceptional. Ka-channnng! A very thick and hot sounding guitar with that extra depth which is Brazilian. Just more "there" there if you know what we mean. I got to spend five mionutes with it, the highlight of my morning I might say, now it's up to you. For that person on your gift list who "has everything", this would make the ideal 25th wedding anniversary or retirement (or ANY other occasion for that matter) gift. Put 11,000 smackers in a boring mutual fund, OR put it into this guitar and reap the rewards and daily appreciation. Sell the rest, buy the best. Just arrived (12/22/06). Several inquiries already. $10,750.

Collings	O2MRG custom Mad Rose/German	(SOLD) (NEW) Another after hours visit by Moe (Moe's gone Mad!) to the wood stash at Collings. This is a mighty special custom Collings O body in magnificent figured *Madagascar Rosewood* and an off-the-charts good German spruce top. The use of Madagascar Rosewood is a fairly recent development for Collings; many feel Mad Rose to be the heir apparent to Brazilian rosewood. If this guitar is any indication, you've got our attention! It's a style 2 guitar with ivoroid binding, but no herringbone, a style 3 backstrip and Waverly tuners with ivoroid knobs. Deep sustain and singing trebles from the German spruce, and abundance of overtone and depth from old Mad Rose herself. No one with eyes closed could identify this an an "O" sized guitar. It's one of the best sounding guitars in the shop and one of finer things in life. Four packages arrived from Collings today. Moe is exhausted. After getting sweaty with the C10 Hog Top above, he feels this guitar would go better with a fine glass of wine. Pinot anyone? Oh...1 and 3/4" nut width, of course. Moe's gone Mad!! SOLD (DN)	SOLD
Collings	OM2G cut German spruce cutaway	SOLD (NEW) It always takes a good long time to get a cutaway from Collings. It's always worth the wait, and it is rare for us to have one in stock. To have one in stock with a German spruce top is even more rare. But here she is: just a great looking OM2 (no herringbone) in German with cutaway and the 1 and 3/4" nut width, of course. A great sounding guitar with access to, and the appropriate voice for, the highest registers. Very nice! Thanks D.H.	SOLD
Collings	OM2GBaaaSB cutaway VARNISH custom	SOLD (NEW) Ah.....remember the good old days, way back in 2007? Back before the economy got slam-dunked by the banksters? Back when we could still order Brazilian rosewood guitars from Collings? Oh, how we yearn for those simpler carefree days. So much has changed, but it doesn't seem that long ago. Here's my suggestion: Turn off your televison and study this remarkable guitar for a moment. Perhaps it will serve to calm your frazzled nerves and remind you of the fundamentals, back when they were strong. Listen: AAA grade Brazilian rosewood, magnificent German spruce with a light shaded top, Brazilian rosewood *pyramid* bridge and fretboard, Brazilian rosewood headstock overlay, CW pickguard, CUTAWAY, and of 1 and 3/4" nut width (of course) and did we mention the varnish? We invite you to insert your nose into this soundhole and sniff - celebrate the happy marriage of Brazilian rosewood and varnish. Strum one chord and appreciate the conjugal bliss of Brazilian rosewood and German spruce. Life is good. Get out of your funk. Get back in the game. $10,750 SOLD - Flying to San Francisco	SOLD
Collings	D42 BaaaA	(SOLD) ....(USED) - Few and far between....a fancy custom Collings D42. The Thinking Person's collectible in really great dark, quartersawn AAA *KILLER* Grade Brazilian rosewood, the kind we can't get anymore, with premium Adirondack spruce, abalone torch inlay on headstock, abalone top border, abalone rosette. 1 and 11/16" nut width. Consigned here by a great player and collector who has several of them and finds that it is time to thin the herd slightly, so he can buy more, as it goes. A magnificent guitar that has been meticulously kept. Not much to say other than gloat that we have it here and you should leap at the chance to add it to *your* collection as guitars this good come along very seldom in life....just a tremendous guitar and a *SUPERB* investment.	SOLD
Collings	AT16sb Archtop	Archtop!! (NEW) The two best things ever to come out of Austin Texas were Stevie Ray Vaughn and the Collings sunburst archtop guitar. Sadly, we lost Stevie Ray way too young. But we've still got Bill Collings carving these magnificent archtop guitars. Life isn't fair, but life is good. Bill carved this one for the Summer NAMM Show, and we were in the right place at the right time, so it came home with us. This one has an Italian Red Spruce top and a classic dark sunburst. It looks like Mother Maybelle's L-5. For us, it is the very picture that should be positioned next to the word "guitar" in the dictionary. No finer guitar exists. We have a list of people who want one of these, so we have to consider that it is on hold as we go through that list and offer it to them and see who is ready to visit the mountaintop. $9,000	SOLD
Collings	16" archtop Sunburst	(SOLD) (NEW) The Mona Lisa, the Tower in our Pizza, the Top, the tip, the &*%@! Honestly, of everything we carry, and oh we do carry the GOOD stuff, the Collings archtop guitars are the things that cause all activity to squeal to a halt here. Everyone in the shop drops what they are doing to ponder, to drool, and explore the fine details of the functional art Collings calls his archtop. We've got seven or eight people in our want list for this obnoxiously fine guitar, and we will begin calling and e-mailing them today after we wipe Moe's saliva off the pickguard of this wondrous beast. It is the 34th 16" archtop from Collings. We see one every 18 to 24 months. We don't expect it to last past 12 Noon today. Moe's hands are trembling. Hold your calls: The guitar has been SOLD.	SOLD
Collings	SJ Mh A ss SB cut custom	(SOLD) (NEW) Stop the presses! You know we love our Collings guitars here, and we have handled many of the best Collings guitars ever made. Well, Moe is here to testify that this new arrival may be the finest Collings we have ever seen or heard. Listen: It's a lightly built (3.8 pounds) short scale Collings SJ in HIGHLY figured mahogany. That's good. It's got a master (just killer!) grade Adirondack spruce top. That's great. It's got a cutaway. That's fantastic. It's got Collings' *Broken Glass* inlay pattern. That's extraordinary. It's got (drum roll please) a FULL BODY sunburst that makes grown men weep. That's just mean. Seriously folks, this guitar looks and SOUNDS like it's time to pass the utensils around. We're done, stick a fork in us. I don't think we can do any better than this. Hey, someone wanna order one of these in varnish?? Gawd, does this combination (mahogany, Adirondack, short scale, cutaway) work on every level! Listen to Moe: If you haven''t had an SJ, you're not done yet.	SOLD
Collings	OOO1 custom black Doghair	(NEW) We've got a customer. Let's call him Jeff. Jeff has a grand sense of humor and a bold sense of adventure, and he absolutely loves the black/white "doghair" Collings 290 electric we sold him last year. So he, with little prodding from us, challenged Collings to build a light HOG topped doghair OOO with rope purfling and pearloid headstock veneer and pearloid pickguard, of course. Oh, we've had other doghair acoustics, but never a doghair hog top. It's the Hog Daddy, and the Hottest Dog. Astonishingly woody sounding, crisp and warm at the same time, hard to photograph, off the charts unique. Sorry, the pics are unable to fully capture its cool factor. You'll have to take Moe's word for it. It's wicked good. It looks hot and sounds amazing. What a Honky Tonk guitar. SOLD - We've ordered a matching UKE!! See the next entry...(JM)	SOLD
Collings	OOO41 custom Brazilian	(SOLD) (USED) A magnificent 2004 custom OOO in highly figured Brazilian rosewood and high grade Adirondack spruce top.

In addition, this fine guitar has the flowerpot inlay on the headstock. If you're going to fly first class, you might as well wear your good shoes. A *fine* collectible guitar, set up light and low for a fingerstyle player, but it is certainly comfortable with a flatpick as well. VERY well maintained. On consignment. Priced to go quickly. A special custom guitar, heirloom and investment grade. SOLD	SOLD
Collings	DS2H	(SOLD) (USED) A bold and beautiful DS2H custom slothead with a more user-friendly (1 and 3/4") nut width than this body size usually gets. This DS2H is seven years old (7/2000) and has really blossomed into a marvelous sounding Collings. Big, sumptious, warm, full, perfectly balanced. Super fine Indian rosewood and close grained Sitka spruce. The finish has settled well into the wood, and at this price, you don't have to "settle" for less guitar. All the cells have re-arranged and aligned in an orderly and musical fashion. Here we have the essence of Collings: Seven years old, nice low action, tall saddle. Not a hint of a belly or bad luck. Some lesser boutique guitars are looking for their first neck re-set at this age. This Collings is just breaking a sweat and ready to go the distance. G-O-O-D guitar. Plays like butter, sounds like thunder. All a guitar can be. Currently set up with light gauge strings for big time fingerstyle, but can be flatpicked as well. Fresh pics. Delicious, really. (JL)	SOLD
Collings	DS2H	(SOLD) (USED) Another bold and beautiful DS2H slothead . This DS2H is also seven years old but has the standard specs (1 and 13/16" nut width)and is set up with medium strings.

A very light fingerstyle OM, this is a guitar model that we know well and we are delighted that it will be here ON CONSIGNMENT. A very smart man told me recently that German topped Collings guitars, when capoed at the seventh fret, have the projection and timbre of a fine mandolin. We like the sound of that. This is a *smokin* good guitar in immaculate condition. It is a prize and it is SOLD (AK)	SOLD

Custom features include an abalone bordered headstock, the flowerpot inlay, and fancy engraved gold Waverly tuners. This is a very fancy guitar, that is a given. So we'll not say more.

So, as fancy as she is - this thing is a real *PLAYER* ! $12,900 SOLD (FN)	SOLD
Collings	D1A custom Varnish	Great googlie mooglies! (NEW) It's always a great day when our UPS delivery arrives early and he has four boxes from our Texas friends at the Collings Guitar Co. for us. It's even a better day when half of those boxes contain varnish D1A guitars. Moe is taking the rest of the day to inhale the varnish, explore the depths, and play all four chords he knows on these magnificent guitars. I can hear Wayfaring Stranger wafting out of the back room right now. Moe is finding religion. Seriously, I mean all seriousness aside, these varnish guitars are the mother's milk of guitar rapture. Before Moe snatched it away, I grabbed a few shots of the first tastey morsel. Geeez Louise...just look at them! Put a fork in me, I am done. A D1A (the one to have when you are having only one) with wide grain Adirondack spruce top, no tongue brace, Adirondack bracing, cut thru saddle, a torch on the headstock which looks like 100 year old stained glass, the crisp Collings logo at fret #12 (the only inlay on the fretboard)the CW pickguard, and tortosie binding. It's a grownup's guitar. It's an heirloom grade guitar. It's one heck of a guitar. I wish it were my guitar.	SOLD
Collings	D1A custom Varnish	Elvis has left the building (NEW) As if that were not torture enough, here's the second D1A varnish to arrive this week. We sell a lot of Collings guitars. The D1A is our best selling model. This is the best D1A we have ever heard. There are guitars and there are guitars. There are '68 Plymouth Satellites with slant 6 engines that make fine grocery getters - good family sedans. Then there are '69 Plymouth GTX muscle cars with hemi engines. This D1A has a hemi engine. (Moe was a gearhead) Listen: Wide grain Adirondack spruce top, no tongue brace, Adirondack bracing, drop in saddle, a torch on the headstock which looks like 100 year old stained glass, the crisp Collings logo at fret #12 (the only inlay on the fretboard)standard pickguard, and tortosie binding on the body, neck, and headstock with additional crosscut ivoroid purfling. 1 and 23/32" nut width, varnish, snakewood knobs on nickel Waverlies. The loudest and most majestic sounding D1A we've ever heard. We've been told that our descriptions tend toward the hyperbolic. We prefer to call it transference of enthusiasm. For that we offer no apology, and we submit this guitar in evidence. Booyah! This guitar arrived un-sold and lasted a full twenty minutes!	SOLD
Collings	DS2H Brazilian	(SOLD) (USED) - Oh how we love the big 12 fretters and this one is a whopper. A January, 1996 Brazilian rosewood, wide grain Adirondack spruce topped, slotted headstock big dose of Texas Thunder. 1 and 13/16" nut width. Excellent ++ condition (near mint w/ newer Collings case). Consigned here by a great player and collector after he ordered one of our varnish D1A Collings. The label reads "DS2H" as Collings back then (early 2000's serial #'s) was not yet using the naming convention that they use today (by today's rules this would be designated a "DS2HBaaaA". How annoying is this - the grain in the Brazilian rosewood is so straight we had to call Collings to verify that it was Brazilian - which they verified yes indeed - rated "AAA" in 1996 which means it is off the charts today! Oh we miss those days, of finding Brazilian with such straight grain that we needed to inquire! We're reminded to tell you that Collings has built over 10,000 guitars (just passed serial # 12,000) since this one and that those of you who prefer to buy a nicely broken in Adirondack topped Collings should consider this a golden opportunity. Want an heirloom grade 12 fret Collings dreadnought? Here she is. ON CONSIGNMENT	SOLD
Collings	DS1HA custom VARNISH	(SOLD) (NEW) We're real excited about this. Chris Hillman ordered a Collings DS1H a few years ago and we were taken with just how *good* the herringbone purfling looked against the tortoise binding on his mahogany guitar. We've always loved the DS1 (when we customize it with a 1 and 3/4" nut width, and those cool 3-on-a-plate Waverly tuners, that is) so we thought this was the perfect time to go all "varn" on one and add the mud that makes the mahogany rumble - VARNISH. Normally pretty simple, this custom DS guitar is loaded with "wow" factor - insanely wide grain Adirondack spruce, nicely figured mahogany back and sides, big 12 fret voice, with a real fat boost in the mids. Our first VARNISH DS and Oh Boy, we can hear the varnish working! This is no bass heavy 12-fretter. WIDE dynamic range with round fat notes and long sustain. This guitar can do it all. This thing sings! Wow - that sold fast!	SOLD
Collings	D 2 A custom	(SOLD) (NEW) Fancy East Indian rosewood D 2 A custom - we spec'd the "cleanest" (minimal streaking) wide grain Red spruce D2 with no "H" (No herringbone purfling) and a 1 and 3/4" nut width - Brazilian rosewood headstock overlay - ivoroid knobbed Waverlies - WOOD binding (curly MAPLE) on body, fretboard, and headstock, MOM fretboard inlays modeled loosely after THIS ONE but without herringbone. (Don't need herringbone when you have $1200 worth of curly maple binding!!) Here at Acoustic Music Works, we love wood. We talk about wood all day, like a vintner talks about wine, or the way a chocolatier talks about that muddy stuff that drives Mom to distraction. We connect with wood on a very organic and spiritual level. We are soundhole sniffers. Anyway - enough about that, we got one for your Mom here! We love Adirondack spruce and we like it wild and wide - and the boys at Collings came through for us. You can drive a matchbox car between the grain lines on this stuff. But stop there? Oh no - we bound the whole darned guitar in curly maple and had them search high and low for the perfect Brazilian rosewood headstock overlay and really premium East Indian rosewood for the back. Just to finish it off, we added the *Mom* inlays. Buy it for your Mom. Buy it for Valentine's Day. Don't wait for Mother's Day. Or do something nice for Mom and buy it for yourself - you know she always wanted the best for you. Here it is. A custom Collings in honor of Moms everywhere. Lumber and love. SOLD (FW)	SOLD

List Price: $5,075 - Our price: $4,568 No surprises here, a magnificent guitar visually and tonally. The sunburst was a fine idea...powerful loud guitar with great growl.	SOLD

These are consistently strong flatpicking guitars. Loud, punchy, rip your face off guitar. How do they compare with a standard D1A? The large soundhole adds a midrange boost. The lighter build (no tongue brace) adds a certain something. Hard to describe, easy to hear. ON CONSIGNMENT Sorry - SOLD	SOLD

We try to always have one here and always have one on order. Wouldn't you? Arrived March 2005. Mighty cold here yesterday, so we let this one sit 24 hours before opening (and we suggest you do the same). It was worth the wait. First thing this morning we unleashed this Bengal tiger shipped here from the Austin zoo to find...oh...just another fierce and magnificent CW from the man himself. This one has aggressive, mildly malevlolent streaks in the Adirondack spruce, like war tattoos. Perfect high grade East Indian rosewood. Tone? Buckets. Snarl? Gobs. Volume? Say what? I can't hear you over this nimble and imposing creature. This is the one to take with you into battle. Thanks Greg!	SOLD

Collings	CJMhAssSB-VARN	(SOLD) (NEW) Been waiting over a year for this one. The new "it" guitar for 2008. The BIG deal, a dark tobacco sunburst Collings CJ in mahogany with Adirondack spruce top, in SHORT SCALE and slow roasted and sauteed in Texas Tone juice, that musical mudpack, that hand rubbed Collings varnish finish. We've been looking forward to this one for some time, and it rings our bell. Sorry we can't get out to get natural lighting for the photos. The pics don't do this guitar justice, but we think you get the idea. It's drop-dead gorgeous with tone to match. Another home run from the Texas A-team. Short scale and varnish, an amazing combination. The ultimate strummer. Sounds 30 years old old. (GD)	SOLD
Collings	CJ Mh A sb Varnish custom	(SOLD) (NEW) While we are at it, let us introduce you to our Guitar of the Year for 2008. In general, the short scale varnish sunburst CJ was the "it" guitar for 2008, and we sold more than our share of them. Each one was great. This one, however, stands tall even in a room full of giants. This one has short scale, varnish, 1 and 3/4" nut width, flourish on the peghead, BRAZILIAN rosewood bridge, fretboard, and peghead overlay and magnificent quilted mahogany back and sides. We've ordered several like this and this one was in stock *almost* 24 hours before it sold. It had a sound that made us forget everything else for a day. Instant gratification, baaaaby. Life is short, art is long, varnish is NOW. List: $8,750	SOLD
Collings	CJMhAsb mahogany custom VARNISH	(SOLD) (NEW) We tell it like it is here. And let there be no confusion about what our definition of "is" is. This guitar *is* why we love guitars. A November surprise. A fancy custom Collings CJ with mahogany back and sides, Adirondack top, dark SUNBURST, with flourish on the headstock, 1 and 3/4" nut width, tigerstripe pickguard and Uncle Bill's mystery oil: VARNISH finish. Arrived earlier than expected. We didn't expect to see this guitar until 2008. Ready for the last guitar you will ever need? Quite a treat for the eyes and ears. Like roaring thunder, like comfort food. Like autumn weather, like inner peace. Imagine the sound of utter contentment. Think it looks good? It sounds better. It sounds butter. It's pure joy. Just scary good.	SOLD
Collings	CJ Mh A ss sb Varnish	(SOLD) (NEW)A special order - one of our favorite models. The short scale Collings Jumbo in mahogany with Adirondack spruce top and varnish finish. A warm, rumbling, mature sounding guitar that is beyond satisfactory. 1 and 3/4" nut width, flourish in the headstock and sunburst becasue this guitar deserves it. Firestripe pickguard just for fun. I don't care how many guitars you've played or owned (actually, I do) you'd be impressed by this one. The tone cannot be described, it must be heard. Congratulations K.B.	SOLD
Collings	CJ custom A CJMRGss	(SOLD) (NEW)A custom special order - a deeply sophisticated custom CJ built with Madagascar Rosewood and high grade German spruce. Decked out with tortoise binding, MOM inlay, extra flourish in the headstock, gold Waverlies with ebony knobs, and abalone rosette. This guitar has tone until Tuesday. This guitar is short scale and is built with Adirondack braces and a 1 and 3/4" nut width. The sustain is long and the overtone is abundant. Drop D tuning turns this guitar into a chuch organ. Really quite impressive.	SOLD
Collings	CJ custom maple SS	(SOLD) (NEW) Oh we have been exploring that deep maple mine at Collings. This is a custom CJ *deluxe* in flame maple with sitka spruce top and SHORT SCALE, tortoise binding on the body, neck, and headstock, abalone rosette, flourish on the headstock, ebony knobs on nickel Waverlies, and 1 and 3/4" nut width. Want to play Ragtime music with room filling piano-like projection? Want an easy-playing warm but "quick" maple guitar with LOTS of bottom end? A maple jumbo from the King of Schwing! This guitar is exactly what the doctor ordered for that big maple thump and rumble. Just a drop dead gorgeous guitar as expected with highly flamed maple and perfect appointments. But the *SOUND*, oh doctor, the sound has healing powers! Drop what you are doing, drive here and try this guitar! We had our doctor, our blues-buddy Ernie Hawkins, spend fifteen delightful minutes with this guitar. (see the pics) Ernie called it "a guitar that has all its parts" and "a guitar that loves the key of F." That's a little cryptic, but oh he made the guitar sing. It has a HUGE bootom end on it, not maple-bright at all. In fact, Ernie called it "warm, dark and dry." It's a blues guitar. It's an exceptionally good rocking blues guitar. We had this one on hold for Ernie until he was able to decide on the perfect Collings for himslef. He has ordered a custom short scale SJ in maple (sitka top) with cutaway - so this custom CJ (which inspired him) is available again. SOLD (GH) $5,375	SOLD
Collings	CJ Mh SS Sb Custom	(SOLD) (NEW) Wow. That's all I can say. We know a good guitar when we hear one, but this one really took us all by surprise. It's off the charts, really. Sure, she's pretty, but this guitar SOUNDS positively amazing. Regular old Sitka spruce, doing us proud. Short scale sitka topped guitar with tortoise binding all over, and tone, tone, tone. It has been the year of the CJ, and this one ranks with the best. We jazzed it up a little bit by putting the SJ inlay on the CJ (nice) and a real nice Brazilian rosewood headstcok overlay, abalone rosette, and style three backstrip. It's going to a GREAT player who accompanies his state championship-fiddler wife who (seriously) just rips it up and puts the breeze in Texas Swing fiddle tunes. I am telling you, this guitar will be in good hands, and we'll all be better off for the music it will make. What a pleasure to have a hand in this one!!	SOLD

Ken says it's like something from the 1930's. Moe is speechless. It's the finest CJ we've ever had. Let's see how long it lasts! Tick tock...GONE.	SOLD
Collings	CJ custom mahogany SS	(SOLD) (NEW) A regular custom offering for us - a SHORT SCALE mahogany Collings Jumbo with sitka spruce top. Very Gibsonesque, like a J-50 on the juice. The last one looked like this and was a loose cannon with room filling warmth. Ever play a really good sounding old Gibson J-50 and say to yourself "wow, imagine how great it would be to find a new guitar built by someone like..oh maybe Bill Collings, that sounded like this but had that great Collings neck and perfect intonation and road worthy stability and insane sizzle and rip?" Well if you have (and WHO HASN'T??) look no further. Less stiff, but somehow more filling. We always try to have this model in stock or on order, and five minutes with this guitar will explain why. Reminds us very much of this *great* 1958 Gibson J-50 that we use, and Ernie Hawkins helps us validate, as a reference for these things. Extremely versatile guitar with wide dynamic range. Loose but loaded, full but not stuffed, subtle not strident, warm but never hot. A grownup's guitar. $ 4,650	SOLD

A positively great sounding advanced jumbo style Collings. Huge and rich and loud, downright piano-like with full with heaping sustain - oh so much guitar, so little time. Sounds great with fingers or flatpick. $5,200	SOLD
Collings	CJ custom Rosewood German	(SOLD) (NEW) We've believed for some time that the perfect top for an East Indian rosewood guitar is European spruce.

Honestly, EIRW and GERMAN spruce. Oooh, that smell. Out of this world.

Collings flagship model - sitka spruce topped Indian rosewood dreadnought with 1 and 3/4" nut width, drop-in saddle, nickel Waverly tuners and strap button. We're pretty excited to land this big fish: a real "players" Collings from a great player.

Nice tall saddle, tweed case, and Macintyre pickup installed. Traded here on a new custom mahogany Collings. Recently set up by Brian Kimsey We had high expectations for this guitar, and we took it sight unseen from a hot Nashville picker who we know and trust. We were not disappointed. I am sure, those of you who have a hankering for a "player's D2H," that your fingers are already twitching. Give in. Sell the boat - buy the guitar. Sorry - Already gone. I am standing in the eye of a hurricane watching Collings guitars fly out of here....	SOLD
Collings	D2H-G VARNISH German	(SOLD) (NEW) Our favorite way to serve up a D2H is with that perfect marriage of East Indian rosewood and German spruce. Since we like them so much, we figured it was high time we put our checkbook where our mouth is and order one up in VARNISH with no tongue brace. Whatcha think? 1 and 3/4" nut width, of course. As expected, the guitar has an enormous sound that hits on every cylinder. Highs, lows, and everything in between is present, fat, and happy. A controlled roar, a reverberant wonder. Quite impressive.	SOLD
Collings	D1AV sb	(USED) The one to have when you are having only one! This is one mighty special custom D1A built for the 2007 NAMM Show in Los Angeles - that's right, this D1A is just *six weeks old* and it's been traded here on an OM sized Collings guitar.

Sold new for $4748 six weeks ago - available now for almost 20% less. Should last a day or two at most... Like new condition, freakin' beautiful, and ready to rumble. What a guitar!!

Collings	AT16 16" archtop	(SOLD) (USED) Our first trade-in involving a Collings archtop model, and we're certain we won't get any sleep tonight. A rare opportunity indeed! In our opinion, one of the most underpriced collectibles available today. Put some Texas swing in your guitar stable. Essentially new and unscathed, still has the original strings on her. A rare opportunity....might just be a safer bet than those mutual funds that are not much fun to play anyhow. A near mint Collings 16" sunburst archie. What are you waiting for??	SOLD
Collings	CJ sb	(SOLD) (USED) East Indian rosewood and sitka. 1 and 11/16" nut width. Nicely set up. Coming in from a good pal, this guitar is guaranteed to have plenty of mojo. It's a nicely kept, gently-gigged with Collings CJ (East Indian rosewood/sitka top) with full body, neck, and headstock binding and that great tobacco sunburst. This guitar has an L.R. Baggs M-1 (soundhole pickup, passive - installed by Flip Scipio) installed and suits this guitar. It's got two or three lacquer dings on the top (very light, lacquer impressions only) and is a very nicely broken in circa 2004 big bear of a guitar that sounds fantastic. An extremely POWERFUL advanced jumbo guitar for flatpick, strum, heavy fingerstyle. You name it - it can take a heavy hand and it just rips! ON CONSIGNMENT - SOLD	SOLD
Collings	OM custom Brazilian	(SOLD) (USED) This kind of *lucky find* is often treated as "private stock" here - and often a guitar as unique as this does not get listed, or we should say, it sells before we get it listed. We keep a "Want List" and some treasures disappear before our loquacious webmaster gets wind of them. We have decided to go ahead and prominently list this one just so we can all have some fun with it, while we check with Collings to see exactly what we have. Well, here's what we have. It is a marvelous one-of-a-kind custom model - would probably be designated an OM3HBA.. "something" if we ordered one like it today, but we'd be unable, without a time machine, to find this kind of old Growth Brazilian rosewood (the pics speak for themselves - this is some extremely exotic and fine wood) that was a rare find when they decided to use it in 1994 - the top is private stock GERMAN spruce (verified by Collings) and the inlays are a unique banjo-style design done by Tom Ellis at Precision Pearl Inlay. No need to throw adjectives at this guitar - it is what it is - a well kept thirteen year old Collings custom Brazilian rosewood OM guitar with unique engraved inlays and a marvelous pedigree. It's one of the finer things in life. It's a man with a plan. And, it has been SOLD. (CM) Found a home in Winston-Salem, NC.	SOLD
Collings	OM42BaaaA Brazilian Rosewood Cutaway	(USED) Just another retirement-grade Collings guitar? No, this one is a keeper. This OM42 cutaway with AAA grade Brazilian rosewood, high grade Adirondack spruce, cutaway, torch on the headstock, 1 and 3/4" nut width, and a Calton case. ON CONSIGNMENT - Price includes the CALTON case @ $ 8,750 Cashiers check or bank wire transfer only - no wiggle room on this one for credit card fees. Coming in from a customer who plays them but keeps them perfectly clean, spotless really .... For those of you not affected by the recent economic calamity, I suggest this investment rather than 300 shares of AIG. This guitar comes with instant karma. Seriously - a WORLD CLASS, investment grade Collings OM42 cutaway with all the right stuff, set up *perfectly* but most importantly: it has tone to-die-for. We aint foolin. Just a GREAT sounding Brazilian Collings with cutaway. We don't say this often but when you do you should take it to heart: For those who ask us to call when something *very* special arrives: Consider yourself called.	SOLD
Collings	OM2h-G custom Varnish	(USED) A positively magnificent Collings OM2H-G with high grade german srpuce. Custom order with 1 and 23/32" nut width, cut thru saddle, Adirondack spruce braces, and firestripe pickguard. Sold new for $6,500. A very strong OM2H - seems equally suited to flapick as well as well as fingerpicking styles. If you are not a believer that varnish makes a HUGE difference, we suggest you play a verse of Amazing Grace on this old thing. A truly versatile guitar that sounds great no matter how one attacks it. So what are you waiting for? Attack it. (CT)	SOLD
Collings	OM2BaaA	(SOLD)(NEW) AA grade Brazilian rosewood Collings OM. Add Red Spruce top, hold the herringbone, add ivoroid knobs and 1 and 3/4" nut width. You add the fingers. Superb value in a very classy Brazilian rosewood orchestra model from the world's premiere builder. I got to spend two minutes with it, and it was the best two minutes of my day. Rich deep sound, amazingly responsive, and set up to satisfy even the most demanding player. One of the finer things in life, a Brazilian rosewood Collings guitar. SOLD (Bill O'H)	SOLD
Collings	OM2EssSB	(SOLD)(NEW) OM2 (no herringbone) East Indian rosewood Collings Orchestra model with a medium pale sunburst on a tight grain Englemann spruce top, 1 and 3/4" nut width, and SHORT SCALE. If you think Collings guitars are "stiff", you've never played an Englemann topped short scale Collings. You've been hanging out at the wrong guitar shops! This maginifcent guitar is easy to look at. Easy on the eyes - easy on the fingers. Buttery smooth and sweet, loose but not lazy, easy on the left hand, but still mighty responsive. It *is* a Collings, after all. Warmer than usual, a magnificent fingerstyle OM. An ideal "second" Collings for the lucky person who already has a D2H or D1A. An ideal first Collings for someone struggling with lesser guitars. (SOLD) (DE)	SOLD
Collings	D1A	(SOLD) (USED) We are unabashedly passionate about Collings D1A guitars. This one is coming up from down South where they know a good guitar when they hear one. Seriously folks, we have some serious Collings fans out there and the gentleman (and I mean that) who is consigning this guitar (and the CW below) takes VERY good care of his guitars. I have not seen it yet, but he assures me (and I trust him) that it is in SUPERB condition. If you want to buy a nearly new looking Collings D1A at a good "used" price - this could be worth the price of a phone call. I do not expect either of these consignments to gather much dust here. If history serves, this man's consignments tend to sell quickly (within a few days) and are mighty satisfying. They are like garage-kept Shelby Mustangs driven only (but joyfully) on Sundays. Interested? Can't blame you. No pics yet as Moe has locked himslef in a room with this one for 30 minutes and emerged with one succint comment: This D1A sounds TREMENDOUS! Pics soon - sold new a few months ago for $ 4,072.50. Buy it now for $3,450 A few inquiries already...Pics tomorrow....if it lasts that long. The Adirondack top on this guitar is as ugly as the Mona Lisa. Seriously, this Red spruce is crazy dark and streaky, bearclaw infused and imbued of raucous character. Next to the Snow White Adirondack on the CW below, this looks like salvaged barnwood. Salvaged from Charles Sawtelle's barn if you get our drift. If you get that reference, you'll know how we feel about this guitar. Battle-ready, pug-nosed, and a little scary. SORRY - this guitar is SOLD.	SOLD
Collings	CW MhA SB Sunburst	(NEW) Ahhhh...the Collings CW model. This model generally doesn't require a lot of explanation. It speaks for itself and is the stuff of legend. We all want one, sooner or later. This one is slightly more rare as it is built of mahogany and has a fabulous light sunburst over an amazingly good Adirondack spruce top. No one does sunburst like Collings. The standard nut width on a CW is that perfect 1 and 23/32". The bridge spacing is 2 and 1/4". The sound is classic. The oomph is in. This one barks with the big dogs.	SOLD
Collings	CWMhA	(SOLD) (USED) We are positively goofy about Collings D1A guitars. This one is the CWMhA variant, which is essentially a D1A with no tongue brace, large soundhole, 1 and 23/32" nut width, 2 and 4/16" saddle spacing and the "CW" pickguard. This one is coming up from the same down South guitar enthusiast as the D1A above. Who would get rid of two such GREAT "nearly new" guitars you ask?? Someone who just took delivery of one of our varnish mahogany/Adirondack Collings and who has acheived that all too rare one-ness with his new guitar. Seriously folks, we have some serious Collings fans out there and the gentleman (and I mean that) who is consigning this guitar (and the D1A above) takes VERY good care of his guitars. I have not seen it yet, but he assures me (and I trust him) that it is in SUPERB condition. If you want to buy a nearly new looking Collings CWMhA at a good "used" price - this could be worth the price of a phone call. I do not expect either of these consignments to gather much dust here. If history serves, this man's consignments tend to sell quickly and are mighty satisfying. They are like garage-kept Shelby Mustangs driven only (but joyfully)on Sundays. Interested? Can't blame you. This guitar has the best set of Adirondack spruce ($1000 upcharge for this set, new) that we have seen here in two years. It is picture perfect. If you've been looking for straight grain Adirondack with NO streaks, this is the guitar. Remarkable, really. This wood would please the most demanding soul in the guitar business (and did!) Sold new in May of 2007 for $4,522. On sale now (in the same new condition) for $3,995. SOLD	SOLD
Collings	D1A Custom	(SOLD) (1-2000) mahogany and Adirondack spruce custom dreadnought with 1 and 23/32" nut width neck. Torch inlay on headstock, tortoise binding on body, fretboard, and headstock, cross-grained purfling on the neck and headstock. No fretboard inlay, dalmatian pickguard, ivory bridge pins, long cut thru saddle. A VERY special guitar. SOLD. A similar model on order.	SOLD
Collings	D1A	We love Collings D1A guitars. There, we said it. This impressive beast is from 1999. Pre Y2K, and for some crazy reason (Y2K made us all crazy) the label is marked "D2H". Go figure. I'm here to tell you, this is no D2H! Moe knows a D1A when he sees one, and this has D1A written all over it (well, not really... but I guess we've already covered that) just trust us, mahogany and Adirondack she is, Indian rosewood she aint. It's all there, and the mis-labeling gives it interesting character somehow - so does the wide grained sun darkened top and the "coolest* looking Brazilian rosewood headstock overlay we've seen in a very long time. Fresh pics. This is a sturdy and solid D1A, perfect for the most aggressive player, really holds up under heavy strumming or hard picking. This one's for flatpicking with a heavy pick and medium strings. Nothing squeamish here. 1 and 3/4" nut width, CW pickguard, frets have been dressed, strap button installed. Eight years old, LOUD, and ready to rumble. Original case. Everything in VERY good condition. and...not surprisingly...quickly SOLD. Headed for Switzerland.	SOLD
