As I told you on Facebook.. WOW!!!!

I am drooling. Those 3 on a plate waverly tuners are just drop dead gorgeous.

You promised more photos...... WAITING!

Wow, that is killer!

That's one of the nicest headstocks I've ever seen.

Thanks for the kind comments everyone. Here're a few more. They're not great as the natural lighting has been very 'dull' this week...

Really a nice guitar! I even like how the color tone of the tuners match the top and are accented by the black MOP. Congrats!

Hi Frank;

Thanks for nice comments & 'noticing' what I did to dress this one up nicely. I actually had a set of white mother of pearl Waverly 3 on a side tuners installed by Collings; but although they are actual pearl; they looked like all the same ones in plastic. So ultimately, kind of 'cheap' looking? To me anyways. I swapped them out for these richer looking black pearl units as soon as I received the guitar.

I'm also very happy with the results of the torrified top as well. Right outta the box it has a more pronounced bass & midrange than my 20 year old sitka topped 000-41.

Love ALL my Collings acoustics!!!

Cheers!
Rudy
