      @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.

                      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.

                                          Slash playing a Gibson 335 on his latest release. His forthcoming Blues album has some amazing guests lined up. I really hope they stream the whole studio session.
