You have put up for sale some stunning guitars as of late. This is another! I've played a couple of these over the years. I remember them as sweet-sounding and louder than I expected--which seems to be part of the Collings DNA.

Thanks. Most folks are blown away by the projection/volume of such a smaller body.
