Hey folks,
I'm moving on my Collings which I purchased about a year ago. Has an LR Baggs Anthem SL professionally installed by Mansons in Exeter.
Great guitar, beautiful woods, sound and playability but I need to raise funds in order to give me some savings in the bank as I move towards being self-employed and so it's time for it to go.
The 'VN' and 'SS' are upcharges for the neck - Vintage Now neck, so a low profile modified v with 1 3/4 nut width and 2 5/16th at the bridge, and Short Scale so 24.9" rather than your standard 25.4" - think of the guitar as a wide necked 000-28 and you're there.
Here's the spec's from Collings' site:
Top Sitka spruce
Back & Sides E. Indian rosewood
Neck Honduran mahogany
Body Binding Ivoroid with herringbone purfling
Fingerboard Binding None
Peghead Binding None
Bridge Ebony belly-style with 2 5/16" spacing

Tuners Nickel Waverly (16:1 ratio)
Backstrip 2-style (Zipper)
Rosette iv/tort/iv & b/w purflings
Scale Length 25 1/2"
Brace Material Sitka spruce

Here's some photos from before I ahd the pickup installed but the guitar is in really, really good condition 9/10 so these show it off just fine...

You need an idea of what you are going to do, but it should be a vague idea.
