    @JunkPants yeah a respected vintage guitar dealer is brokering the sale so it’s legit. Vince Gill is also in the mix now, I’m curious to see who ends up with it.

      @xtcclassic hoping at some point when the deal is done you’ll be able to share some of the pics. Fun to follow along here

        @SKT those are both beautiful!

        Funny you mention the CJ35 — I played one of the new ones (CJ45T?) last week and it was by far the best of the Collings I checked out, sounded absolutely wonderful. The interesting thing though is that the neck on it is goddamn enormous, like just under 1" at the first fret. I really like big necks, but when it gets tough to wrap my thumb around when I'm playing an F chord, it's a bit too much for my taste. Tbh I don't know that I've ever played any other acoustic with a neck that big. Anyway, my thought was basically that I loved the guitar but seriously hope they make a version with a slightly more reasonable neck down the line.

            @mikebarhoot this cracks me up. Guitar players all have the same problem with cases everywhere!

                @popvulture I haven’t played a new Collings in a long time but that sounds like a damn big neck! Had to measure mine now and it’s quite a bit smaller than that (with a 1 3/4 nut width). Actually my D-18 has a “bigger” neck but a smaller nut width (1 11/16). Go figure.
                I think Collings acoustics are really tricky. A lot sound sterile and thin to me. But when you find a good sounding one, paired with the amazing fit and finish, they’re amazing. Lately though I’ve been thinking I could sell all my guitars for an old Gibson J45 and that would do me right for a long time.

                  @SKT I hear you on all of that. Old Gibsons can be pretty special. I had a '66 Country Western for many years, was sort of my main acoustic, especially for recording, but it often fell short of being my go-to because it had the opposite problem: a way too skinny neck. It felt like an SG or something. I've got big hands, so I just could never really get into an ideal groove with it, but man did it sound fantastic. It had that really woody, Nick Drake-y kind of thing.

                  Re: Collings' inconsistency, I definitely agree — I've played some that were absolutely magical, and some that were totally lifeless duds. All of them were built impeccably, so I can't really say what contributes to that uniqueness (the wood I suppose), but I'd say the same for pretty much all other brands. When I bought my Martin, I played five or six others at CME that just didn't do it for whatever reason. I've played Fender Custom Shops that were absolute garbage, and Mexican Fenders that just had it in spades. Regardless, I enjoy hunting em down haha.

                        Someone say old Gibsons? gratuitous old photo of my ‘49 L4 with monkey bar and unnamed amp (probably mid-late ‘50s)

                            Ooh, look what finally popped up on eBay...

                            Vox Pathfinder 21oz Denim from around 2017, our very own piece of Iron Heart rock n' roll history! Not the best sounding amp in the world, but looks cool as hell - hoping @Giles might be able to shed some light on how this collab came about?

                                  Somebody correct me if I’m wrong,but I think many moons ago there was some IH denim that wasn’t especially useful and it was sold to VOX to cover their amps with.

                                    Erm (hope Vox is not reading this)….We needed to get rid of a shit load of 2nd and 3rd rate denim.

                                    We did....

                                    @SKT @SamD This was from back in 2016.
