Comments: "A classic guitar with vintage styling and vintage sound. Amazing Koa!" - Al Petteway

"If you are a Koa fan, you won't believe this.... Be sure to click on the back image to zoom in and see the amazing fiddle back figure in this Koa wood. The Koa body is powerful and articulate and pairs perfectly with the Sitka top that lends it's warmth and clarity. Many of these Collings from the 90s strike us as exceptional and this one certainly moves us." - Paul Heumiller
