Talking And the new guitar is....
Collings OM2H HR A SB Varnish!

I ordered this guitar in December and finally got to take it home end of last week. I've been too busy playing and staring at it to make a post until now. Some of the custom options are:

- Honduran Rosewood Back and Sides
- Adirondack Top
- Varnish
- Sunburst
- Mother of Pearl Long Diamonds and Squares Inlays
- Abalone Rosette
- Exotic Ebony Headstock Veneer

Seriously, I'm in love.

I dunno, there was a thread about the ebony headstock not being perfect. Some guys would return it. I keed, I keed.

Amazing guitar!

THAT'S how a sunburst should look, as opposed to so many these days that look like they've taken a black spray-paint can around the edge and it's essentially a black strip.... What a beauty. Enjoy!

Whoa! Now that is a seriously sexy guitar. What's with the head plate - that's gotta be the most beautifully distinctive thing I've seen in a long time. CONGRATULATIONS!
