My Dream Custom Order
Posted: Tue Dec 25, 2018 11:01 am
This is somewhat inspired by pjkesq's excitement about his forthcoming Custom.
I sometimes send my self off to sleep (never was good at that) imagining that I could order a custom (or even two or three - after all dreams are free right? )
The reason I'm here is because I found the most ideal guitar fr me in 1999 and it was a Collings DS2h, and I now have two and two DS1s (one with adi and burst) and an 0002h.
That wasn't the plan but after getting the first, the others were all used. (another story). Also the VERY first time I encountered a Collings guitar was in The Music Emporium in '98. when they showed me something like a DS41/42 which was magical, but in BRW and I was concerned about importing it into the UK (yup-even then).
It would be a DS of some sort, probably a DS3. Standard specs but for :
So, in my dream state, I'm thinking a) dark burst or b) terrified (to get that matured look mainly)
Sitka or adi (probably, as I'm old and nearly dead - torrified Adi)
Style 42 abal;one trim, and style 41 fret markers and bound slotted headstock and neck, with three on a plate waverlies. Torch headstock inlay.
Then I have a problem. BRW is out (CITES etc.,) Madagascar is out (same situation, plus personal conscience). so I'd like some sort of rosewood tone and look, but where can I go apart from EIR?
I need help to get this resolved so I can get some sleep.
Any ideas?
