Put a little port or brandy in a decanter to breathe and meybe they'll be ready at the same time.twocorgis said:I have just opened the bottom of the box to let a little more air in at 3PM. I figure I'll wait until 6PM, and I'll take the case out of the box. Then maybe around 9PM or so, I'll open the case.
Yeah, the wait is excruciating...
I was thinkin' the same thing! Relish the wait, and enjoy the opening.........A Collings in d'house! All the best Mate, Enjoy.davismanLV said:Hey Sandy - TODAY IS THE DAY!!

In case you haven't seen it; there is a '66 F30 with bearclaw over in the FS/FT section that looks like a pretty awesome guitar! If I didn't already have a 68 I'd be all over this one!!tommieboy said:Probably an older F-30 Standard, if I can find one that catches my attention.
jgwoods said:One of the guitars I most regret selling was my Gibson J-185. They just have that something- big enough to have plenty of punch, deep waisted to sit nice on the lap, short scale and a great neck. I wish I had it back but getting another Gibson is such a crap shoot that I never do it. Now- low and behold here comes the Guild Orpheum line and it includes a jumbo short scale that sure looks like it might be a fine replacement for my J-185 while sticking to a much more consistent maker- good ol' Guild.
I like it.
