SOLD Pending - Collings OM1-JL - £3,600

Kisfret

This is truly a stunning guitar, recently acquired from @brucegill on this forum. I could very happily keep this, it is a thing of simple beauty that somehow surprises every time it is taken from the case. But, having also acquired two CS 1937 Authentics and a Murphy Lab from @Wazmeister books need to be balanced. 

This is unsurprisingly in the same condition as when acquired, so I’ll link to the previous thread, but new photos also added. 

I have loads of boxes and packaging so I can courier this well protected, though probably best to come and try it out and collect yourself in North London if possible. 

Asking £4,250 shipped / £4,200 collected.

Alas. moneys been spent... 

Amazing guitar and was a tough choice to let it go. Ultimately the decision was only based on selling this for what I paid, or selling a 001T that I'd bought new and would have lost a small fortune on.

@Kisfret is a gent to deal with too. Really easy going transaction. 

Wazmeister

Thats lovely looking Jonny… great grain on the top.

Kisfret

Bump and a price drop

Kisfret

Bump, still here for now, still lovely.

Beautiful OM 

Kisfret

Thanks @joeW it is indeed! I guess higher end acoustic sales in particular are a bit slow at the moment. 

I’ll be exploring other avenues soon so if anyone is interested don’t sleep on picking this up at tFB pricing.

Bump and another price drop as I got shouted at this morning for having too many guitars. The truth is I don’t have enough loft for the number of guitar cases I have, but the nuance didn’t seem to land with my wife. 

Doubt you will be seeing many of these come up at this price (such is tFB though…)

Great price for a Collings...never mind a 'JL'.

Kisfret

Had a few enquiries and there seems to be interest but still here for now 

Kisfret

Interest rates are dropping, it’s time to buy a Collings at a great price! (Not financial advice.)

Seriously though, I just played it and it is wonderful. Perfectly in tune after a couple of weeks in case, sounding great with a set of Martin Retros that have settled in nicely.

Quite a bit of interest but still here. Not really willing to drop the price further on this one, I’d rather keep it, but I’m happy to do a fair bit of driving to make a meet up work, particularly after the last courier experience I had.

Hi, PM sent about possible trade?

Kisfret

Hi @SonnyJim sorry didn’t see that, seems to be on my wall rather than in my inbox. Will drop you a pm.
