I'll do a few pics first so no reading is necessary.
Being on this forum, it should be clear that I'm a fan of PRS guitars. With that said, I'm also passionate about a few other brands as well. One happens to be Collings. I went into my local shop yesterday with every intention of picking up an I35 LC Vintage. The guitar had been on order for some time and I've been waiting patiently for about a year for it to come in. It didn't disappoint but I felt that it didn't offer enough different from what I already have to justify the cost. That meant I had the opportunity to get something else.
I've been casually interested in the Special Semi-Hollow since the limited run a few years back. There was a sea of great guitars to check out and this non 10 top just stood out. I ended up spending a lot less money and came home with a great sounding guitar. One minor frustration is that it was the 2nd new PRS in a row that I bought that had a poorly cut nut. I've been playing PRS guitars since around 1990 and I never got one new or used with nut issues until the last few months. Sort of weird but it's all fixed now.
