This guitar is beautiful. 
It was built in July 2007. 
It is less red than it looks in some of these pictures.
It is in excellent, clean condition, plays brilliantly and the Lollars sound amazing.
No Issues!

    Bump for this amazing instrument at a knockdown price.
    The colour is much closer to the last pictures in this sequence.

    Not really looking for trades. I need the cash because this has already been replaced. On the other hand . . .  if you have a semi-hollow Jack Briggs Saturn deluxe/Apollo or an Echopark Clarence we should talk.

    Came very close to buying one of these - tried it out on a Saturday, loved it,  went back to buy it on the Monday, and the shop had hiked the price so I thought screw you.  Ended up buying a Gibson 336 instead, not quite the refinement of the Collings, but quite a bit cheaper of course.  Also I wanted to refret with 6100s, felt a bit less sacrilegious with the Gibbo than it would have with the Collings where the fret job was so immaculate.  If I didn't already have the 336 I'd be all over this.  Beautiful guitars.

    The 336 is a great guitar but the first thing I did years ago when I bought one was to take it in to get the frets done. This is my second Collings and it's a great snappy, singing thing. I'm sad to have to sell it now. They really are as good as the hype suggests.

    This is a really fantastic instrument. 
    The Madagascar fingerboard imparts a different and pleasing attack.
    Bump.

    A superior instrument for less than the price of a 335. You will not regret it.
