Congratulations. |

The all mahogany body and top has a kinda unique sound like no other guitar in the stable. |

and uh ohhh.....wait till momma sees what I special ordered. At least I will have 6-9 months to raise the funds and break the news!
which gives me time to grab the Tak 45th and the Collectors '08....then I am finished....I swear! |

So, where are those? Or did i miss them?

but the answer I think you are looking for would be a Collings C-10 Deluxe all mahogany body and top. |

BTW, did not get the joke on the picture of the girl who looked intoxicated? Who's she? I think the post title was 'Free'. Been away from the U.S. too long, I suppose. |

I was also curious how a typical Collings pickguard would look against the mahogany. |

Really - I've pretty much made a living out of playing stupid. Ask anyone. |

Bra Clear Pick Guard - Don\'t be fooled by Imitations!
Yeah, they are ten bucks, but you get two and they are removable/reusable.
And you can see through them, and you can take them off. And maybe they will give me a free one for the plug :D |
