2007 Collings SJ cutaway, spruce top, maple back and sides. Brand new condition, never left the house. 1 3/4" nut. This is a great guitar, but I've got another SJ that I use daily, and that one's dinged up pretty good. Photo below. Asking $3500.
I'd be happy to send out additional photos. Feel free to contact me at home.

I don't know the seller, but I own a Froggy Bottom F 12 non-cutaway model (just my preference). I would challenge anyone to find a better guitar. Froggys are simply special instruments that have a lot of soul, in addition to sounding fabulous and playing easily.
If there's any interest in these guitars, I'd be happy to entertain serious offers. For the Collings, somewhere around $3500. The Froggy Bottom, around $5000. I think I'll post the little Martin elsewhere, but will post here if it sells. Cheers.
I'm on the road, and don't have the Frog with me. I'll get back to you on the string spacing. It's certainly wider than the Collings. You can hear the guitar on my myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/mikemorrismusic. The name of the song is "No Need for Crying." You can also hear the Collings on "Let A Little Color In," although the tune has piano and B3 on it, and it's a little hard to hear the Collings. Cheers.
Unless it was custom ordered, the Froggy should be 2 1/4 at the saddle if it's 1 3/4 nut. that is pretty much their norm. and that is what my F 12 is.
As the owner of an F 12, and a Froggy fan in general I would highly recommend that guitar. If it was possible, I would add it to my little room... Only there ain't no room in my little room.
I've got my eyes on a Gibson Custom Shop Advanced Jumbo, folks. Any interest in these guitars...? I'd consider dropping the price considerably on these instruments. Let's say around $3000 for the Collings, $4500 for the Frog? Or make an offer.... Cheers.
I'd be happy to send out some additional photos of the Collings. It is a Sitka top. As I mentioned in my initial post, I have an older model that I gig with, and this one is a bit louder, with a little more low end, and in immaculate condition. I do have a tentative offer of $3500, from someone who is local and is coming to play the guitar this weekend. Cheers.
A no show on the Collings, folks. But I'm reluctant to let that guitar go for $3000, as it really is a great guitar, and worth more, in my not-so-humble opinion. Since I posted it for "around $3000," I'll stick to that. But... here's an offer for folks out there: I'm interested in a Slope D, either a Collings CJ or a Bourgeois Slope D (full scale). I don't think the new Gibsons will work for me -- too inconsistent. Any interest out there in a potential trade? Prefer a sunburst, but will consider any.
