For those of you that know me, you'll know I'm just as into guitars as I am into TJs.
I'm really big on Blues and Jazz, with a big love for arch top style guitars. I also love semi-hollow and hollow body guitars and almost refuse to play any guitar that isn't at least semi-hollow. I gravitate towards the more peculiar and asymmetrical shaped guitars as well.
All of my adult life I've lusted after Collings guitars. Hand built in Austin, Texas by the late (he very recently passed away) luthier Bill Collings. I've never seen such fine guitars in my entire life. These things are absolutely glorious in regards to the craftsmanship and the way they play. Many celebrities own them, including Johnny Depp, who is said to be a big Collings fan.
Anyways, I could never afford one until now (and even now I'm not sure I can, I just couldn't resist), but I found such a great deal on one I just couldn't pass it up.
And without further a-do, here is my Collings Eastside LC Deluxe:
By the way, definitely not trying to brag or anything. I'm just super excited (it doesn't get here until next week) and I don't have anyone to share it with. Oddly enough none of my close friends are into playing music at all (sad but true).
