part 4; tone test Collings Acoustic guitar @ Pickers supply

Collings ! Wow ! This is a tone rich top end great guitar- perfect for chording ! Sweet ! This guitar in particular has it's own place in great guitar sounds . It's shimmering top end will only improve as time goes on once it breaks in ! Supurb for chording in the studio- doing a rythm track or a 2 guitar track hard pan stereo with this will take up it's own frequency spectrum and will require no or very little EQ in the mix !! I think that this combo of Mahogany back and sides and Anarondiack spruce is a world class act for sure !

I own one of these an play primarily bluegrass flatpicking these days. I couldn't be happier! It came down to a Santa Cruz Tony Rice or the Collings CW Mahogany. You are correct. It does record very well with very little electronic intervention.

This guitar had a knife edged top end that was transparent ( 1.5 - 2K ) that I have never heard on another guitar witout the aid of EQ ! Amazing and almost like Heaven for a dual rythom track !

lol~~ you are very funny!

it seems like you have opened your eyes a little toward high end guitars

Colling and mcpherson guitars has always been better than martin in my opinions.

but i hope you try out Ryan guitar.

you can search 'Ryan nightingale' on youtube

to find out how great that brand is.

ryan guitar to martin

should be like martin to epiphone

These guitars were some amazing sounding and playing instruments and I was defintly educated thanks to Brand over at pickers supply ! I would like to say that the HD28-v was a little bit right in the center of all the tones ! Not as bright as the collings but it still had a sweet top end Chime (rosewood back and sides)it wasn't as big in the bottom end as the redwood McPherson yet it still had a deep low end and it seem to really project on the flatpicking leads in the volume of the mids ! Nice

Collings ROCKS. That's all there is to it.

[flatpikinguitar]

Yeah they call it the collings winfield now, but a while back they did a limited edition collings clarence white and people bought them up in no time. after that collings had many costomers asking for them so they renamed the clarence white the winfield and put it on sale as a standard model.

[SteveGaines]

CW supposedly stands for Collings Winfield..when in reality it is a ripoff of the CLARENCE WHITE model..notice the Large soundhole and no fret markers...
