Collings C100 Deluxe
I took delivery of this Sitka/EIR C100 about 5 months ago and it’s a killer guitar.

Re: Richard Hoover Podcast
The 4th monthly podcast has just been released. Another enjoyable effort by a small group of dedicated SCGC folks.

Froggy Bottom Raffle
I just saw this posted. Another great cause & generous contribution by Michael at Froggy Bottom. They are raffling a beautiful FB C. I own an Adi/Mahogany C and it is superb! I’m in.
