CONDITION
This guitar is in pretty good condition for a 40-year-old instrument. Structurally, everthing is fine. The top has had 2 cracks repaired, and the back had 4 cracks repaired by Dick Dubois, who is one of the top repair luthiers in Austin, and does all the repairs for Collings Guitars. There are also a handful of nicks, dings, nail marks, and string burns that are often seen in instruments of this age. I am the third owner of the guitar. The previous owner is a professional guitarist who played it extensively in the 1980s and 1990s. I

SOUND
The guitar has a wonderfully sweet sound, with singing trebles and beautiful, deep basses, and excellent resonance and sympathetic sustain. Here are some sound files to give you an idea of what to expect. These MP3 files have no compression, EQ or reverb -- just mic'd through Schoeps and Neumann microphoness, using various patterns, into a Presonus ADL 600 preamp into a Rosetta 200 A/D converter.
