    @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.

        @popvulture ha! The hunt is where it’s at!

        Edit: And this is why I can’t go into guitar shop anymore

                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?

                    I’m super curious about the details of this too.

                      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.

                        @Giles said in Guitars anyone???:

                        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.

                                Did any further developments happen with that old pristine Les Paul?

                                    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.

                                    My contribution, to urban blues…

                                        @IH-GARY Was able to find out lots of info on the forthcoming album. Lots of cool guests,great song list. Especially interested in hearing his version of Steppenwolf’s The Pusher with Chris Robinson singing. Didn’t recognize any of the back up musicians and didn’t realize that it was Steven Tyler playing harmonica in Killing Floor. Scheduled release date is May 17th.
