Nice. I like the way the gold, engraved tuner buttons give some "bling" to the plain, trapezoidal headstock, Jim. Is that headstock Brazilian rosewood?

Collings makes some of the BEST guitars!! Love the headstock. I also love the parted hair one they do as well.

The are very unique and just incredible guitars Tom. Wish you could play this thing.

Congrats! From the guitars I've picked up and played at Elderly Instruments, I have to say Collings is consistently making the finest guitars in America right now. Superb tone, impeccable quality of workmanship. Actually, I'm Jonesing after one of their "A" style mandolins, also beautiful works of art.
Very cool look to that!

Well hello Harry. We're doing well. Retired June 1. I spend a little time out your way from time to time as baby boy works in Fort Worth. It's been whirlwind my friend. When the world settles down a bit, I'll meet you out that way and buy you lunch, or dinner, or a beer! As far as fancy guitars for a country boy, Scratch down in the Hill Country bought a Collings several years ago, and I was blown away. This one was my retirement gift. : ) PM me your number my friend.....I had it, but it's been too long.

Jim THAT'S THE ONE!!! WOWZA!!! That's such a beautiful shape.... can you show the whole guitar? I see that headstock and the Collings name in that logo style and I get all .... excited. That's my fave of their headstocks but just that name is enough. Wanna see the whole guitar though!!

The CJ has a German spruce top Tom........another incredible guitar. Great for finger style.

Not sure why these pictures post TWICE TWICE?
Hi West! The shape of the headstock and pickguard on that CJ is really classy! I don't recall ever seeing that, or I have forgetton, but I love it!

I would say they are thinner pick guards than my Guilds Ralph. In fact, I just put a Guild and a Collings side by side, I'd say the Collings pick guards are half the thickness of my Westerly built Guild guitars.

Nice! I just happened to pull a set of those off one of my guitars for some maintenance yesterday. Small world.
