Default Collings 03 Madagascar RW / German Spruce

Here's an opportunity to save big $$$ on a 2016 custom Collings 03 acoustic. Retail price of this beauty is $6,975. Aggressively priced for a quick sale. Condition is dead-mint. As clean as any other new guitar you will walk out of a shop with.

It has less than two hours of playing time on it in my smoke-free, climate-controlled studio. Decided to try a smaller-body guitar. While it sounds incredible and everything you could ask for in a Collings, I feel more comfortable with my larger-bodied guitars. The old saying goes - my loss, your gain.

AGF PRICE: $4800 plus shipping. CONUS Paypal fees (if any) responsibility of buyer.
Not interested in trades.


SPECS:
Includes the following upgrades: German top, Madagascar Rosewood back & sides, 3-style backstrip, Adirondack bracing, 1/75" nut. The woods were hand-selected for this custom build.

TOP: German spruce
BODY: Figured Madagascar rosewood back and sides
BODY DEPTH: 4 1/8"
LOWER BOUT WIDTH: 13 7/16"
BINDING: ivroid with 3 style backstrip
BRACING: pre-war scalloped adirondack
ROSETTE: standard 2 style
PICKGUARD: None
FINISH: natural nitrocellulose lacquer
NECK: Honduran mahogany with ebony fingerboard
SCALE LENGTH: 24 7/8"
TRUSS ROD: fully adjustable
NUT: bone
NUT WIDTH: 1 3/4"
STING SPACING: 2 3/16"
FINGERBOARD MARKERS: none
PEGHEAD OVERLAY: Madagascar Veneer
TUNERS: Waverly nickel
LOGO: mother of pearl
SADDLE: drop in
BRIDGE / END PIN: ebony
CASE: Collings custom hardshell

It's Thursday, no better time for a bump. This is a crazy good price for an amazing Collings small-bodied 14-fretter.

Two completely different animals. Each sounds different, plays different, feels different. Every guitar I have serves a different "purpose." Sort of like a very expensive tool box. Like trying to compare a screwdriver and a hammer - at least for me. Both are great.
