INSPIRATION
INSPIRATION
I have been playing the guitar for a very long time. There are many players here who are more skilled than I. But I want to sing the praises of Collings guitars and take time out to that them. My new OM2 SS VN is a dream come true. This guitar makes me sound better than I really am. It is inspiring me and causing me to play more than usual. For that I am so very grateful.
Re: INSPIRATION
Collings Guitars has done this to me too. Around 2 years ago I played a Collings for the first time and it just drew me in. Wasn't familiar with Collings or planning on purchasing a guitar that day, but everything about this particular CJ35SB had what I really love about guitars....tone, playability and a gorgeous burst to boot. It can handle everything from strumming , flat and finger picking.
I'm afraid to pick up one of their mandolins!
Glad to hear your guitar inspires you to play music!

Re: INSPIRATION
I agree with you both. I love the natural beauty of a fine piece of wood. I also love fine craftsmanship. My Collings D2H has both in spades
Everytime I pick it up I first spend a minute or two just looking at it. Then after making sure it is in tune, I love to strum a G chord and let it ring just to remind myself just how great it sounds.
Like you I find myself trying harder just so I can do justice to the fine instrument the folks in Austin created.
