Collings 360 Electric Guitar Demo - by Tonedr

[bluestudio67]

Oh.. noticed the kick-ass Bose's in the background! Amazing system for playing jazz through. Or just listening to my fave record!

[bluestudio67]

I'm a HUGE mini-hummer fan. Putting them in SG. Built a Tele with a mini at the neck. Oh my, what a sweet tone... especially in the middle :) Used SD SMH-3. Wonderful p'up. These Collings guitars are some kinda special. If I sold my truck, I'd buy two... and a Marshal Plexi...and an old twin...and a.... lol

Congrats on the wonderful aquisition!

[tonedr]

they are very cool pups....this is the first guitar i've had with them and really like them in all positions...great to hear about your rig and wish you all the best with your music!

Haha! Well done. Proofreading falls by the wayside when one is drunk :). But I'm betting you'll remember the unique thing.

Does the 360 have a strat-like contour on the top (you know - where your right forearm rests)? I have a Les Paul and a Hamer Talladega Pro, both of which cause my right hand to go numb for the lack of a contoured body.

Respectfully, MPH

[tonedr]

lol.....not quite like a strat but it does kind of 'roll off' on the top. It's a carved top and the contour feels very comfortable.

[maxwellph]

"Kinda unique?"  A thing is either unique, or not. There are no degrees of unique. Unique means one of a kind. A little free Enlgish lesson :).

[tonedr]

free and unsolicited....oh and you might work on your spelling - ENGLISH! All the best in your grammar patrol!

Full disclosure: a friend of mine works at Redbone, but damn, those Collings are really something, electrics and acoustics. And they have a bunch in stock

[tonedr]

i'm glad you told me about the store....i had never heard of it before and they have a great sight. The 360 they have now is stunning! thanks again,

Redbone Guitar Boutique in San Antonio has a 360 quilt maple that is beautiful!

[tonedr]

My lefty is being built now, this only makes it harder to wait, lol.

As always nicely done.

[tonedr]

congrats! do you mind sharing what finish...what kind of fretboard inlays.....wood combo? I like mine even more than i expected - light weight and the sustain is just silly good.....i hope your wait time isn't too long. Thanks for watching,

dale

[alswin77]

Well Dale I asked collings to make me a special tobacco burst with a bit of red added. I am getting a standard 360 other than that.

Yours is a real beauty. I can't afford all those nice extras like the maple tops and inlays. But I know the sound is going to be awesome.

[tonedr]

isn't it great that you can have a voice in your guitar! without mentioning names i laugh at the tought of that with most other guitar compainies! Your guitar will be killer - i like this guitar more than i expected and i hope and believe you will as well. Love to hear back from you when she arrives!! Stay well,

dale

NIce guitar and great playing as always. Just curious, do you actully own all the Collings you have demoed or are you some sort of dealer arrangement.

Thanks for posting.

[tonedr]

no dealer arrangement - i bought my 1st Collings in 1987 and have been hooked ever since. They not only make killer guitars IMO - but are just the best to work with. Thanks so much for watching,

What're you playing at around 3:59, it sounds really cool. Very nice demo btw, and a very nice sounding guitar. I've never heard of Collings before but they seem nice. One more question =P I see a number of cases behind you, how many guitars do you have?

[tonedr]

sure apprecite you taking time to check this out. You might hit Collings website....it is very nice and you can see what they are about.  Sure appreciate you watching sir!

Nice bit of info and demo. If you like to hear different guitars and equiment, the magazine "Guitarist" ( a UK publication--kind of hard to find in the US--I subscribe) goes over different equipment each month--also has regular Guitar lessons and articles, great mag--comes with CD. For what it's worth--I been getting it for 10 years, since 1998. I should show off my 1978 Les Paul Custom. It has a MAPLE neck (have yet to see a LP with a maple neck). I need to do some Rockin--one of these days

[tonedr]

i've heard that Guitarist has a review on this very guitar in the next issue.....i will be looking for it. I'd love to hear that LP.......sounds very nice! Thanks for watching,

[azb24]

Boy, Dale - that is a sweet axe! Sounds crisp played clean, but it really shines when you added drive. I'm so jealous of your collection. You really should share, you know. ;)

[ptalbany]

I say we have an adult guitar sleep over at Dales and I bet he has enough guitars for all of us LOL!!

[tonedr]
