There’s another pic somewhere where I’m licking the maple top.
That pic costs $3.95 per minute.

I adore the Collection Series. They could just be pieces of wood to the wider world, but for me there’s just something about them.
It’s a kind of aura. A kind of elegance and class that’s hard to define.
In pernambuco, they identified a wood with not just respectable tonal properties, but one with a historical heft to match. Even the name sounds great. That’s got to be a very difficult thing to do, if you think about it.

Thanks man, I've lusted after this guitar for years, so when it came up for sale, I had to jump on it.
There's something magical about Pernmabuco to my ear and hands. It's unexplainable, but it almost has the best of mahogany, maple, and rosewood for me. It has some of that maple spank, that mahogany mid crunch, with the smoothness of rosewood. Even though there's a glossy finish, it feels so good in my hands when I play and the sustain is noticeably longer. The incoming DGT will be my 4th with the wood and I can't wait to have another in my hands. Your collection of "Collection" models
, is awesome! I would love to own a Collection one day, but that perfect model hasn't happened yet for me.

BIG Congrats! Your pernie DGT’s are amazing! I remember the white tiger and blue green ones, and the flame on them were perfect!

“Timber-licker”!!
The quilt top looks like a precious stone, that you can see into the heart of! Good JobCollection guitars with (mostly) pernambuco necks. Straight out of the mind of Paul and the PS team.
These are the guitars we needed but did not deserve.

Yes, like a 1000$ above street price! Crazy! It shows there is a strong demand but not enough guitars produced to supply that demand.

Yes, both are equally captivating!
And what a start it was! That's a glorious axe man! WOW!The one that started the series
Notes to self:
1. Make the pilgrimage to MD.
2. Select killer wood for my PS build.
3. Call divorce attorney.
4. Make sure life insurance is in force.
5. Have attorney look over my will.
5. Break the news to the redhead.
6. Pray for a quick ans honorable death.
7. HELP! HELP! HELP! 9-1-1.......................
9-1-1 what's your emergency...
WHY are you guys just sitting there?!!! I just got bludgeoned to death with my own guitar...good lookin out fellas...geez!
P.S. tell the authorities to look in the backyard for my remains.

Thanks man, I love these guitars and yours are awesome too! The flame tops they chose are amazing for this run, as I don't think I've seen a bad one in the bunch.
Cousins indeed! I've obviously gravitated towards the blue end of the spectrum

Just something really striking about the contrast of the aquamarine-ish top and the flamey-goodness of the natural (Fox
) binding!

You have gravitated to the perfectly groomed section of the tiger zoo too.I've obviously gravitated towards the blue end of the spectrum
Mine are a little wild. Some stripes are a little ruffled from cat fights.

Looking back I must admit that there are times when I wonder if they were worth the price (this is strictly my opinion only and exclusively on my own guitars).
But you only live once, and that fact tilts the whole equation towards insanity. I’m for the camp of doing just one thing outrageous for passion while we’re in this world, so long as it does not harm others or oneself (a big sorry to the trees and their occupants though). What’s the point otherwise.
The clock ticks all the time.

I keep thinking of the Rush lyric from Driven “racing the oblivious cars” - you didn’t know, but you were ‘racing’ me to the blue/green one and now the Glacier Blue one. I even put my Coll IX up for sale to get it. Grrr....uh, I mean, congratulations!
In all seriousness, enjoy the heck out of those! I’m fortunate to have a one-off P22 with the Pernie neck and really agree with all of your comments about the tone. Next to Pernie, I’ll take Braz all the way.
Also, can’t wait to see your new PS SC with the Buckeye Burl - going to be epic! (Grabs popcorn)
