FS Collings 00042- STUNNING!

Stunning 00042 in excellent condition. Built by Collings for the 1995 NAMM show to really showcase their work. The guitar has opened-up beautifully and looks stunning. The inlay work is topnotch. I had a quote from Collings so that I could insure the guitar. To order now would be $7500. You're looking at about £7000 to get it to your door with shipping and all import duties/taxes.

Looking for £4000.

    Top is sitka. Collings have the back and sides simply listed as rosewood in their records. They said that they only make them with Indian now, but at the time it could have been Indian or Brazilian.

    Forgot to say...Collings' pricing (and my valuation) are both based on it being Indian.

    Thanks for the info. It looks rather like the wood on my E B Jones classical, which I thought was Brazilian, turned out to be Indian. Sounds great though, and that's the main thing. Where are you located? Cheers!

    Thanks for the offer. I don't think it will be different enough from my Collings OM in real terms (although I bet it is just as incredible) so will probably pass, but best of luck, someone will get a fabulous guitar. A guitar maker friend of mine also thinks that yours is Indian rosewood, but a very, very good set for all that, as good as anything. Cheers, Dave.

    Happy to consider trades for a top notch OM  with cash either way.
