Originally posted by buckkyNever heard of it, but I have a hard time believing it would blow away my martins, it sounds like you think Gibsons sound better than Martins. I have had both and like both but my D35 is awesome, as was my D12-20 12 string, which sounds incredible as a 6. I like wider fingerboards so that worked great for me. Also sounding great is my Washburn R-305, a little parlor guitar repro from the original Washburn a hundred years ago and just ressurected. It sounds like it is twice as big as it is. You can hear it on myspace, 'The River', my composition, solo guitar. myspace.com/donjenningsguitar.
I just bought a new Collings Acoutic guitar. It blows my Martin away. Makes my Gibson not seem so hot. It's the best guitar I've had. Anybody else have one ?
Take a listen, see what you think. How much did your collings cost? Hand made to your specs? Did you have to wait two years for it? What country is it made in?

I have a Gibson J45 that's a great guitar. The Collings cost around five thousand dollars which is nut's to spend that kind of money on a guitar. but what the hell I did it. They are made in Austin Texas. It's a fairly small shop ,but getting bigger all the time. Check one out some time , and you will be amazed.
