About this listing
Up for sale is my Collings 000-2H SB in EIR & Sitka Spruce sunburst top. This is Collings top of the line production model [similar in my opinion to the Martin 000-28VS]. Serial No. 6916 stamped inside the neck block [at a high angle that does not allow for a pic of the number ; you're gunna have to take my word for it on this one ; i checked the number a half dozen times].This guitar is All Acoustic. This is the real deal beautiful aesthetic❗My sales are very controlled by myself only as I am a private seller and not a store shop, so if the guitar is up for sale on Reverb then it is available for purchase; the guitar shipped to you will be exactly the one in the advertisement pictures. Once I list a guitar for sale on reverb it is not used or touched again unless there is a seller's reason to do so.I am not the original owner of this guitar many years now which I purchased resale from Lighthouse Sound - however it has little of my personal play time on it - my reason for selling is to thin the herd.I'm a man-cave player , so this Collings 000-2H SB has never been out of my home , and unless played , it's in the case , in my temp/humidity controlled environment.It is in Very Good to Excellent condition and clean for it's age, there are a half dozen surface dings , however , when i received this guitar i spent many hours polishing all the surfaces to pristine , which invariably reduced the appearance of any dings to a polished shine ; and may find only the faintest micro swirling - just 'cause that's the way I keep all my instruments.I give this guitar two thumbs up for it's amazing clear balanced articulate tone and all USA American build quality. I play only fingerstyle guitar and this one has a solid great feel and lively open tone to it. If requested I'd be happy to suppy a 24bit.wave sound clip to the serious interest.This guitar has amazing construction , wood selection and specs for the price , with some of the key features being...- USA American build construction...- AUSTIN , TEXAS , USA- Bill Collings , Signed Label ; and label also has hand written: '09-01' and '000 2H SB'- Serial No. 6916- Solid Sitka Spruce sunburst top- beautiful striped East Indian Rosewood back and sides- high gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish- WAVERLY nickel 'butterbean' vintage tuners- COLLINGS 000 body size and specs [nothing unusual here]This guitar is set up with a still really good condition set of Elixir Nanoweb Phosphor Bronze 12-53 ; (i happen to tune my guitars most often E-flat to e-flat) ; string set-up is nice and low good for fingerstyle, which is what I play. This guitar sounds and looks absolutely amazing!Comes with prefect fitment arctic white 'CALTON CASES' with plush crushed velvet silver/grey interior ; and plaque engraved with 'SER. 6286' [which obviously is Not the serial number on this guitar] , and also plaque engraved with 'COLLINGS 000'.The guitar will be in the exact condition I have advertised it and all the pics are taken the same day this adv. was posted.My asking price is set more than reasonable, and sale priced which is already several points better than reasonably good , and is currently low as I'm willing to take it ; so the b.o. option is not available.SHIPPING Rates [Instructions]: Buyer Prepaid Shipping Label:box dimensions: 46.00" x 19.00" x 9.00"box weight with case/guitar in: 30 lbs [yes this item will be considered heavy with it's case][this would be the best method for us both][Feel free to select from Canada Post , UPS or FedEx services with your pre-paid label]Once the purchase is made via Reverb you will receive the exact ship from address.This guitar is available for Local Pick-up in the Greater Toronto Area ; Meeting will need to be arranged at a pre-agreed area inside of a major mall within the GTA only.Important notice for Local Pick-up only:Local Pick-up will require a $2000 deposit fee paid in advance via an e-transfer prior to meeting ; this will help ensure a commitment to complete the purchase ; the full amount deposit fee will be deducted from the listed selling price in the final payment.Reverb is an On-line sales platform ; some have gotten the wrong idea that meeting is to have an opportunity to "try" the guitar to make a decision whether to purchase ; not so ; the only reason for meeting is to complete the transaction at the advertised sale price , also no re-negotiating the price ; and to give the buyer an opportunity to pay only for the guitar list price yet excluding the shipping cost and the obligatory platform sales taxes.
