jannusguy2 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Just picked up this CS 000 in Swiss Spruce and Cocobolo with Madagascar binding. I really love the 000 size. Hands down my favorite guitar size. This will force the sale of something and I expect it will be my Collings OM2HE. Sigh, would that I could keep them all.

MorrisrownSal Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Congrats Rob! What a backside... So tell us if there is a difference in tone between EI rosewood and this kind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jannusguy2 Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 Congrats Rob! What a backside... So tell us if there is a difference in tone between EI rosewood and this kind? Going to have to play awhile longer before making that call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluesKing777 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Wow, congratulations. It could be a fingerpicker's delight with those woods. BluesKing777. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyecon Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Gorge...absolutely Gorge! Do you mainly play finger style? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hands down my favorite guitar size. This will force the sale of something and I expect it will be my Collings OM2HE. Sigh, would that I could keep them all. Amazing wood on that Martin! I would be interested in knowing how Cocobolo compares to Indian or Madagascar Rosewood tone-wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jannusguy2 Posted April 1, 2017 Author Share Posted April 1, 2017 Amazing wood on that Martin! I would be interested in knowing how Cocobolo compares to Indian or Madagascar Rosewood tone-wise. I will be A/B/C-ing it with my other CS 00014 which is Adi/Madrose and my Bourgeois Vintage OM which is Adi/EIR. These two and the new one with Cocobolo complete my rosewood trifecta. We'll see if one stands out.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jannusguy2 Posted April 1, 2017 Author Share Posted April 1, 2017 Gorge...absolutely Gorge! Do you mainly play finger style? Not really. More of a strummer I suppose but i never use a pick. Always bare fingers. Maybe I am a finger picker after all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bozz Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 That's a beautiful guitar. 000's are one of my favorites and are solid all around guitars. They have great tone, are good for fingerstyle or strumming, and that smaller body and short scale make them very comfortable to play. The Cocobolo back on that one is spectacular! Congratulations.

Bozz Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 What a find. Was that a custom order? Or did you actually find it hanging on a wall somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jannusguy2 Posted April 2, 2017 Author Share Posted April 2, 2017 What a find. Was that a custom order? Or did you actually find it hanging on a wall somewhere? Found it on the web via a small dealer (http://www.boutiqueguitarshop.com) with a really nice little selection of guitars. I was actively looking for something with Cocobolo and stumbled across this in the search. It ticked all the boxes for me from specs to price. It's a 2015 so, used. Don't know if this was a custom build for an individual or a short run but whatever, it's a keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelly campbell Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Wow Congratulations..That is a beautiful guitar. I agree the 000 size is one of my very favorite sizes as well, especially the Martin's. I really like the Collings and Larrivee and Santa Cruz brands in their sizes as well. Have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
