ive got a 2008 collings d2h brz adirondak . over the years ive had gibson martin and other leading brands in braz   same woods as the collings. i didnt think the collings would be any   better but i have to say this guitar just is amazing . the the shear volume of the thing just blew me away. and ive not seen any other guitar that comes close . you just cant put it down when you start playing on the thing.
