I have a Collings D2H that I paid $2100 for. (Hey, I bought it from Jack Lawrence. It had been on stage with Doc his own self for years. Jack only wanted what it was worth as a guitar, without the bragging rights. What choice did I have?)

I also have an all-plywood-including-the-top lawsuit Tak (Takamine Martin copy) that I paid $150 for, plus shipping.

The Collings sounds better than the Takamine. Maybe twice as good. Maybe not quite that.

What's wrong with this picture?

Peter. (who would buy them both again, naetheless)
