Members GAS Man Posted March 4, 2018 Members Share Posted March 4, 2018 Possibly the first (or at least rare) time I'd say "I'm jealous" over a NGD. I've long wanted a Collings guitar, but more along the lines of a dreadnaught since I perceive their superiority to be more pronounced on their acoustics. I've played a couple, most recently a baby Collings, and that thing blew away about every acoustic guitar I'd played before. But I live in WA state, and there's just not a lot of Collings guitars anywhere near me. The closest dealer in Seattle will often only have 2 or a very small handful in stock. Next time I'm back in NY I may have to get serious about a deal with Mandolin Brothers. Hopefully I can deal there and then order it from home to avoid the NY NY sales taxes though. LOL Enjoy.

Members AlamoJoe Posted March 5, 2018 Members Share Posted March 5, 2018 Absolutely, jarringly beautiful guitar. Stunning finish, tune-o-matic bridge, trapeze talipiece, P-90's.....Whats not to love? Happy NGD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil O'Keefe Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I literally said "wow!" when I opened the thread and saw it. That's a gorgeous looking guitar! What's the neck profile like on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members maplebaby Posted March 6, 2018 Author Members Share Posted March 6, 2018 I literally said "wow!" when I opened the thread and saw it. That's a gorgeous looking guitar! What's the neck profile like on it? hello Phil...honored you'd check this out sir! The 'stock' neck is sort of a 59LP neckish, maybe PRS McCarty neck - very nice IMO. I'm a smaller guy with shorter fingers so i get their 60's profile neck which is perfect for me, less shoulders and overall profile a bit 'faster'. Thanks again!

I'm a smaller guy with shorter fingers so i get their 60's profile neck which is perfect for me, less shoulders and overall profile a bit 'faster'. Thanks again! We're honored that you'd share your very special NGD with us! I have had the pleasure of playing some nice 50s era Gibsons and Fenders over the years, and I just couldn't get along with the vast majority of them - I have the same small hands issue. The C-neck / slim taper neck profiles work a lot better for me too. When it comes to my personal instruments, thick shoulders on a neck are a deal breaker for me. It's cool that Collings offers the player a choice - I wish more companies did that on more models. I have a brand new 50's Strat RI here for review and it's beautiful - but while the neck dimensions might make it perfect for folks with larger hands than mine, it's not a guitar I could ever personally bond with because it would be too uncomfortable for me to play for long periods of time. You just made me even more jealous than I already was! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
