Default Collings 003G Custom

TRADED

I've had this wonderful Collings for only a couple months, but due to a bit of over extension in the GAS world and some changing priorities, I am reluctantly putting this gem of a 12 fret up for sale. I may regret the sale, but there are always great guitars around the corner . I am shamelessly taking some of the descriptors from a previous posting of this guitar. Asking Traded plus shipping/paypal costs.

Beautiful Custom Collings 003G, its in very good condition. The only thing worth mentioning is a light ding on the top, not very noticeable and does not affect playability. Aside from that the guitar plays great and sounds great. Custom options include the German spruce top, bridge spacing, nut spacing, peghead instead of the normal slothead, Adirondack spruce braces and the belly style bridge.

Those Collings double zeros are wonderful guitars. I've played a number of them, and the German top adds a great deal.

All the best on the sale.

Stuart,

Many thanks. It is a special guitar, just not getting the attention it deserves.
