This is my personal guitar and a guitar custom ordered to be the Collings Forum Guitar. Kevin is kind enough to take as many as pictures as possible during its production process so everyone can experience the birth of this Collings Forum Guitar and to have a better understanding of how your Collings Guitar was made!

The guitar will be a OM2HAV with a special label designed by Collings.

• Master Grade Adirondack Spruce Top
• Vintage neck and bridge (1 3/4 nut and 2 3/8 saddle spacing)
