Location: Mississauga ON | Hi all I have a line on some Collectors...all appear in great shape. Any opinions on the 88-P, 91, 94, or AN35-5? I'll probably buy one of them tomorrow! |

| I can't speek to the others, but I have enjoyed my 94 collectors for over twenty years. The optima preamp has begun to crap out on it, but other than that it has been great. |

It is just like an 1861 with an OP-24+ preamp and some bling.
It is a nice little guitar... but I sold mine.
It is a BLACK SSB Balladeer.

Yup!
But I don't own this any longer.
Another bad decision... and I have made so many.

Location: Phoenix AZ | Sorry, I was thinking of the 1991 Collectors (25th Anniversary). THAT one was a deep bowl. |

Location: Mississauga ON | Yes, the 91 was a deep bowl.
Thanks for your input. It was tough choosing between the AN35 and the 88-P, but I ended up buying the 88-P. Mostly because I am fond of super shallow bowls and 16 frets to the body! A fully "accessible" 24 fret neck is kind of like my Breadwinner (if you have a good imagination). |
