Never seen, let alone played a Collings that I didn't like.

Master craftsmen.

Thanks for sharing this beauty.

Is that a special order, to get that sort of patina ??

IT IS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!


how does it compare to an original 58-64 gib 335 in terms of feel and tone ? (Tough and subjective question !)

Thanks for giving this a look and the kind feedback. The patina is an option but not standard on these guitars.

I've played a good many ES 335s and love them of course. The things i 'prefer' in this model is the second to none attention to every detail on the guitar, i love the smaller size, the input jack on the top of the guitar. Mine has ThroBak pups which i really love too. Thanks for the interest.
