    Collings are indeed fine guitars, I've owned several and you can't go wrong with any of their models. If you can find one over here though try a Froggy Bottom, I've had many bespoke acoustics over the years and my Froggy Bottom M is by far the best acoustic I've owned. They generally come with Adirondack spruce tops as standard which really extends the tonal range. And yes, the Froggy name is a little unfortunate but it has an interesting meaning which is worth reading up on!

    Amazing guitar mate. And incredible playing. I assume the moment at the end is 'I am meant to be demoing this guitar for sales purposes, but there is no way I am letting go of it, ever.' lol

    :D

    Ah thanks @cloudnine - the sales guy cunningly brought it round to my house for me to try whilst he filmed though I actually ended up playing that guitar on five separate occasions before committing to it - just call me picky!

    Holy cow - that's an amazing sounding guitar... if that's not edited/mixed down in any way after the recording? I mean obviously mic levels to take into consideration but there's no additional reverb or anything else put on it to enhance it, right?

    No, I don't think there is anything on there at all - I didn't mix it but I know the guy who did and he didn't add reverb or any eq as far as I'm aware. Just mic'd up with a Neumann KM184 and a Gefell. They are great sounding guitars, this is exactly how it sounds in the room with you. I record this one each month for my acoustic column in Guitar Techniques and it's easy to capture. However, I would like to add something with a bit more of a "classic" sound to the collection (D18 perhaps) as this one has a very dominant sound if recorded in a track!
