It's a Collings OM-1. It's really loud and sounds great. I stoked. It needs a setup, but that will come soon.
 
Cool! I love Grand Concert sized guitars. I like the recording tone over a Dreadnaught most of the time.
 
i also have a new guitar but as a newbie i am not able to connect it with my system.. :(
can anybody help me out..?
 
I took a sound pressure level meter and measured the Collings by holding an E major cord and strumming like crazy, with the sensor mic about 6 inches from the sound hole. Peaked at 106db. My Martin D28 (dreadnought) peaked at 105. The two sound good together - the Martin has a slightly fuller spectrum, mainly in the lows, and the Collings cuts through very nicely.

Yeah, Greg, that's the headless cabinet for now - I was getting squidgy volume drop-outs (followed by soul-crushing Silence) from the JCM800 head, even after replacing all the tubes - it's in the shop, and I feel like a have a close relative in ICU. Hopefully it'll work out. I bought that rig in 1986, and I've been lugging it around ever since. The SG is much newer.
 
I needed a acoustic-electric for live work now that I'm practicing with a band - throwing a Markley pickup in the ancient Epiphone worked ok, but all that transporting around is going to take its toll on that 40-year-old. I'd rather save it for studio work.
Fender CD140SE - solid spruce top, decent Fishman electronics and used at GC, it fit my budget!

Hey!! You got the Collings. Congrats!! I remember you saying a long time ago that you used to drive out to the factory for tours and drools. :p
 
Ooo, looks good. Sleek black and everything. Is it electric-acoustic?
