I found an "almost Perfect" guitar for me, quite by accident, and it's a OOO2H,Collings, (Brazilian, German)... with a 1 and 3/4" neck. The more I play the 12 fret, the more I enjoy it. One thing's for sure, the TONE & VOLUME is just fantastic.. I put a set of Snake Wood, gold /Waverlys on it, and they compliment the Brazilian in a fine way. Anyway.... OOO Collings really do IT for me. 1 folksinger....
