  • @yumpladukfoo THE SCORE HAS CHANGED....#1 COLLINGS, #2 SC, #3, H&D. If you listen carefully the H&D has way too much emptiness in the midrange and that will get worse later when the guitar opens up. The Collings had a nice balance now, but....the SC just might open up with more character in the long run. Which feels better in your hands? The Collings, or the SC? Now go buy it.

  • @TheToejam31 EXACTLY....I agree 100%. An honest sound that tells an honest story in tone.

  • +1 on the Santa Cruz it sounded best to my ears, I bet it weighed a lot less than the other two as well.

  • H & D, then Collings, then SC. I like the character of the H & D personally.

  • from where i sit the santa cruz sounds big almost more like rosewood, but i think highly of santa cruz any way

  • All three guitars had something to offer, but from my perspective, the Collings won the battle, decisively. It had the deepest, richest tone, the best note definition, the strongest harmonics in the chords, without incurring muddiness, or from sacrificing any strength in the fundamental by scooping the mid-range voicing, or by incorporating overbearing bass, such as often happens with a scalloped-braced forward-shifted Martin.

  • SC - H&D - C

  • I liked the Santa Cruz the best, but I thought they all sounded great. I don't think you could go wrong with any of them.

  • I would put the Collings D1A Varn 1st, the SCGC 1934 2nd and the H and D 3rd. What about the rest of you?
