Late as well, as I followed this one back in the UK but couldn't post!

Simply, a very cool story...

Congrats Col. :D

If I know Collin (and I think I do), his favorites never get gigged with. Did I get that right, Col?

Well guys......none of my guitars get gigged because I don't gig at all. :lol: :lol:


....I guess i've played the odd show here or there (and a confluence), but i've always taken out what I wanted to, even if that meant guarding it with my life. Last gig I did was six months ago, with an early Who trib band, and I used a '64 RM1998 and a '66 336/12. If it's gotta sound right....it's gotta sound RIGHT. :)

Hey Collin, have you taken any photos of the guitar since you removed the F-hole binding? Would love to see it!
Great Ramp In My Opinion.
