A few more pics. Price drop to $3k. This one really is super clean and sounds like a dream. Only selling to help Hurricane Harvey relief.
Also, would consider a trade for guitars in $500 range with 1 3/4 nut (I need to net $2500 for Harvey project) [/url] |

A good Saturday to ALL!!!
Posting a few more pics in different lighting to try to capture this remarkable creation by the good folks at Collings. Of course, it is impossible to truly capture with my amatuer photography and cell phone camera. * Want a OM but dreadnaught depth? This SJ is for you! * What a versatile guitar for strumming, fingerpicking, modern to blues? This SJ is for you! * Want a custom model with a few tasteful features not found on stock models? This SJ is for you! * Want to help some folks in Houston with Hurricane Harvey relief? Thisi SJ is for you! Come new ones, come fence-sitters, come all. This delicious SJ is sure to please. Help me help those in Houston. If this does not sell, I may just sell my last lone last guitar - a Gibson L-00 Vintage. I chose to sell the Collings thinking there was more money to be made and then donated, but alas, the market is soft. For those in Phoenix AZ area, offers considered if you come see it and play it in person. [/url] [/url] [/url] [/url] [/url] [/url] [/url] |

It's been a month since I last bumped this. Delay in bumping is partly due to REALLY loving this one, plus I ended up selling a few other guitars to help fund my Hurricane Harvey relief project.
This fine Collings is still available and is spectacular in every way. Someone is going to get a REALLY good one. |

I stopped trying to sell this stellar guitar a while back. It is back on the market.

Nice looking Collings, and really respect your Harvey contributions, that was a real mess down south and I had quite a few friends down there get hit in different ways.
Big question, a subjective one of course. How would you describe tone wise? You've got an SJ200 shape, but Collings always bring their own thing to every shape, where they sound like a Collings (in my experience with 2, a CJ35 and DS1 that has been crisp defined notes, evenly balanced across low/mid/eye - even the Gibson inspired 35 sounded more like a Collings). OH, and what year is it? thx!

. I love it, of the Collings I have had, 002H, OM2H, OM1, CJ, this is my favorite for tone, and surprisingly comfy for an otherwise larger body shape. Hope that helps. |

looking to move this, I'm not one to sit and watch guitars for sale for months in hopes of getting what "I think" it's worth. This market is buyer's dream. Sadly, I am a seller right now.
$2700 shipped CONUS for a mighty fine custom Collings that will knock your socks off. |

Hey there / does this have the standard neck profile? Ie, kind of a chunky C shaped neck?
Great deal! |

Full C profile, although I would not call it chunky.

Oh NO! This SJ dropped off the first page, so time for another price drop. Let's see how far we can take it
$2600 for anyone who has yet to contact me about this fine SJ. |

Tough crowd. Dropped off page 1, so yet another price drop. 2550. I hate money. This is stupid price for this much guitar in this condition. How long will I remain insane, not sure.
