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.
