TRADED!!! - Collings C10 Deluxe
What's Hot
GONE/TRADED a Collings C10 Deluxe - looking for a short scale and/or 12 fret.
Collings C10 Deluxe. Adirondack top, sunburst finish, cutaway, mahogany back and sides, pre war scalloped bracing, and comes with a K&K Pure Mini and original Collings TKL case. There's a pic of the full spec below.
When I got this guitar there was an issue with the finish around the bridge from a botched repair job. It didn't affect the playability or sound but after playing it and gigging with it for a couple of years I decided it was too nice to leave in such a poor state so, after consulting with a number of UK luthiers and guitar builders on who they'd recommend to do the job, I had the top stripped and refinished by one of the very best in the UK. He did an excellent job and the top in now as as good as everything else on this excellent guitar. (Happy to supply more details if you PM me.)
I've decided to sell it as it's currently in really great overall condition, and if I start gigging it, that won't last. These days, I'm also playing less band stuff (where it fits perfectly - see the video below) and playing more stripped down solo singer/songwriter stuff and that feels like it needs something with a bit more bottom end thump than the very balanced sounding Collings. I'm also finding shorter scale easier to play and I've come to realise I like 12 fret acoustics too.
Paul Davids has the same model although with the deluxe spec, but he describes it with more detail and with recording samples that do a far better job of giving an idea of the guitar than my crappy photos.

I'm based in Edinburgh and I'd definitely want to meet in person regarding a trade. I do get around the country a little bit so again, if it's of any interest it's worth asking if I might be heading to your part of the world anytime - you never know.
It's a cracking guitar and as I mentioned before, when I was in the studio it was the guitar the producer consistently picked out for recording ahead of other lovely guitars - it's a dream to play and record.
Swap/trade value is £2750.

It would definitely be in the ball park. I'll PM you for more details but currently it seems a difficult time to do any trades with guitars, not least since my guitar is under lockdown in Glasgow. Like everyone else, I'm not sure when I'd be able to get it back. At the moment, the way things are looking, I could probably do with selling it, but I'd like to find out more and see any pics you have. Can you PM me?
Cheers,
