We're a Collings dealer and I just got the prices for the electrics.

These guitars will probably shake things up pretty good in the industry.

Bill Collings has quite a reputation as a superb guitar builder..

I saw them at NAMM. I'm a huge Collings fan, and I would definitely consider these electrics if I was in the market for a Gibson-esque guitar.

Hey Bill,

That D-55 is is sounding pretty sweet--had it out last week and got nice comments!

What are you doin' in Tele-land? Make a wrong turn somewhere?

i also like teles too. im glad D55 is satisfactory how does it compare to collings you are talking about?

The Collings D2H is a cannon comparatively. I'm using it in a 4-pc./ 3 vocals bluegrass band where cutting through the mix is the easy part-- you need a multi-toned, dynamic instrument to bring out dynamics and still serve as rhythmic pulse.

That's what the D2H is all about. Great in the studio, too (of course!).

The Guilds (D55, F40 and D25) are wonderful recording instruments and will be my go to guitars for solo or singer/guitarist performance.

It's all good, Bill.
