It’s hard to overstate how good these guitars are. Bill Collings really was a one of a kind builder. If I had to live with just one guitar on a desert island, this would be the one!

I love this guitar and for the price it’s ALMOST as good as something 3x the price. I had my luthier recut the nut to improve the intonation and i use it all the time to write and record.

These were made in Tacoma Washington in the 1990s and were low cost hand made guitars. In general they are pretty good and play in tune very well. They have massive finish imperfection that lead to peeling.

Solid workhorse and great pedal platform. I generally use it with my Brown Box and dial the voltage as far down as it will go.

These things scream and while they are definitely a one-trick pony, it’s a pretty good trick.

This is an okay amp. It’s really well built but doesn’t have much in the way of headroom and isn’t great with pedals. It’s a blues amp and if you’re a blues player and plug straight in, you’ll dig it. I haven’t found it useful for much of anything else

I find myself using this as my live amp, more and more often. I don’t really need a full sized helix so combined with the other pedals on my small board, I can play any gig, anywhere, as long as there is good stage monitoring. It also allows me to crank the volume to a place where I can feel it in my chest. I love amps but it’s difficult to get them loud enough on stage without compromising the mix when you play in a loud band. These things are great!

This my mainstay overdrive pedal and I love it, I never leave home without it.

This is my favorite tremolo and in general, I like it better than any other tremolo pedals I have tried and better than most amp based trems. I leave it on all the time with the intensity dialed all the way so it functions as a clean boost and then select the hard setting when I want the tremolo effect. It is an integral part of my live sound.

I use this with my HRDx and drive the voltage as far down as it goes and just love result… it definitely gets you the brown sound!

It gets that brown sound and it does so reliably. Not particularly versatile but they weren’t going for that.

Mine is a 1967 and a killer example of a 56 year old guitar. These things ooze vibe and sound great! The ultimate Rock ‘n’ Roll guitar!

These were custom runs for the 2014 NAMM show. Very well built with great attention to detail, it is my go-to guitar for live performance.
