Collings C-10 Cutaway!!!

This is one special guitar... 'cause it's MINE!!

Just got this beautiful baby from CR Guitars:

The curley Mahogany is absolutely GORGEOUS, and the playability and tone is fantastic.  This is easily the most comfortable acoustic I've ever played.  I'll have sound clips up in the near future.

Thanks Craig, I appreciate your expertese and help!!

Tone King Galaxy Amp

From The Music Zoo, here's my favorite amplifier of all times!  The Tone King Galaxy!
http://www.themusiczoo.com/product/12098/Tone-King-Galaxy-Head-Amplifier-Turquoise/
http://www.guitardealersuniverse.com/Dealers/themusiczoo.html

I am intimately familiar with this amp, as I play one every day!  Amazing tones, great vintage sounding vibe.  I used Tone King's Iron Man attenuater with it, as this amp is LOUD!

The speaker cabinet is also great, looks like a fifties/sixties era Television!  Also available from The Music Zoo http://www.themusiczoo.com/product/12097/Tone-King-Galaxy-2x12quot-Speaker-Cabinet-Turquoise/.


Here's a Premier Guitar video of Mark Bartel, builder of Tone King Amps playing one with a B3 guitar...

Taylor GC5

The GC 5 has always been one of my favorite small bodied acoustics.  The Mahogany back & sides, and the Cedar top just work so well together witht the short scale.

This one comes from Piccolo's Music in Montana:

Collings SoCo "Dog Ear" Custom

Wow!  Check this out from Custom Shop Guitars:
http://www.customshopguitars.com/custom_shop_guitar_003.htm
http://www.guitardealersuniverse.com/Dealers/customshopguitar.html

I love P-90's, and I REALLY love those Dog Ears!  Collings makes such fine instruments.  I never heard one of these in person, but I casn only imagine it sounds at least as good as it looks!

I can't seem to find a video of this guitar being played... so if you have one, and would like to share, I'd love to see & hear it!
