Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Very Good
It's simply stunning that Collings (or anyone, for that matter!) can offer an instrument of this quality at this price point. The fit and finish are, true to form for Collings, impeccable. The warm, round, sweet tonal response from that wood combination and bodystyle make this an ideal fit for players in the folk and Irish traditional camps.
