That 2005 Henderson D28 is outstanding. Not a whole lot of difference between the Collings D1A and the '44 D-18, though I'd have to give the edge to the Martin.

your rite the collings is a clean build almost to clean , but it doesnt sound to hot..... the 05 henderson d-28 has the rite volume and tone......

Very nice. Thanks.

Henderson D28 is not a D28 class it is Mahogany. Collings sound like shit. Henderson sounded a lot better. The Martin 1944 D-18 smoked every guitar there.

@Gintry My philosophy is to make a commitment to one guitar (one electric/one acoustic) and then adapt to its personality. In this manner, you become far more attuned to its subtleties (both good and bad), which ultimately makes for a far richer experience than switching guitars, assumedly always playing to their strengths. It's like having 5 girlfriends: yes, a girl for every weekday, but you don't spend enough time to understand what makes them tick - which is where the real connection lies...

@vapiddrivel - I was thinking that too, the rough medium, but then guitar character SHOULD translate well enough on a simple camera microphone. Think of AM Radio and low-tech early recording technology. Great instruments still shone through.

Wow the first Henderson sounds just wonderful. Warm and present and open. I've never heard an instrument with such a 'sinewy' attack while it's so warm.

Remember these guitars all have different 'experience' levels on them. I just wonder if the VERY new Collings sounds a bit bright, tight, and thumpy in the attack because it needs to be PLAYED more to open up that (Adirondack Spruce) top! Perhaps YEARS?

I find new Collings D's very bright. but probably worth the leap of cash & faith?

I like the first henderson and the collings best.

Wow...... I would love to have any of these guitars let alone ALL of them......
