tks for replying @LadysSolo. I kept going back and forth between the Collins & Pava. You confirmed what I was kinda thinking in the Collins being brighter and louder.
I stopped playing out, so one that had the most volume wasn't a big factor. I'm a couch player now and I wanted one with a nice tone and plays great. The Pava definitely meets and exceeds. I bought the Model A wide nut torrefied and I do like the little added width in the nut. Just ordered a set of Curt Mangan 11.5 - 16 - 26 - 40 strings a couple nights back. Says bluegrass on the package, so I'm anxious to see the comparison between them and the GHS A270 it came with.
I traded my Eastman 305 A back in and banging my head for this as I really liked it. The Eastman had a nice woody bite tone to it and quite a bit of volume. The notes clarity went downhill from 7-12th frets.
