1992 Collings D2H Brazilian Rosewood | Guitar of the Day

[@crazyuncleduke8012]

Thanks for the mention of Chester...RIP.

[@timhalley6987]

Liquid thunder. Just the way a dreadnaught is supposed to sound. An utterly gorgeous instrument as are every Collings acoustic I've ever seen/heard/touched.

[@Zelomeisterdude]

Beautiful guitar. Has to be one of the best sounding Flattop Friday guitars I've heard.

[@chapolinzito]

Here in Brazil we just call it "rosewood from here" Joking

[@vanderleimoreiradafonseca9052]

kkkkkkk

[@colbyjack7074]

Mark and Jen. Thank you very… very much for doing a Collings. I'm fortunate enough to own a few Collings and am sad to see Bill pass. You tribute was nicely done. Appreciate it. Thanks again.

[@stephenhenion8304]

Great history lessons!! Beautiful Guitars.... thanks y'all 🎶🎵🎶

[@everettclunie3525]

A true gem of a guitar built by a legend. RIP

[@Jason-wo5rr]

Beautiful guitar and beautiful playing. Touching tribute to another lost human life. Chester was a gracious human being who lost his way. I feel horrible for his 6 children who may never know their father now. Collings guitars rank next to henderson guitars as far as i'm concerned. all are precious works of art. RIP to both gentlemen

[@jamesjohnson5333]

Easy to see Mr. Collins was a craftsman and in your hands what an awesome moment to reflect thanks Mark very nice well done.

[@SniffingGlue]

One of the greatest sounding guitars you've ever had in here. And you've had some incredible guitars, so that's really saying something! In love with that.

[@bekeneel]

A guitar like this needs Adirondack top tho, makes a bigger difference than brazilian over regular EIR..

[@photopicker]

Well lookie lookie, a Collings. One of the great builders and this guitar is NO slouch. Big rich sound with plenty of sustain and warmth. Had no idea Bill died. He built amazing instruments and had a great career.

[@jeff1586er]

It always amazes me that someone can make something so right and ever be willing to sell it. Very beautiful sound from a guitar maker I've never heard of.

[@Bodyknowledge77]

And the strings ring on..Lovely sounding instrument..

[@trevenkraus9904]

Bodyknowledge 77 incredible sustain. Almost sustained as long as a PAF Les Paul

[@jacobbentley2562]

I need a Collings now... Bill made some fantastic instruments, wow. Class act Mark and Jen.

[@hunternichols9463]

They're over like 5 thousand dollars but from what I heard they're supposedly the best Acoustics there is

[@19tractor52]

Beautiful to look at and beautiful to listen to!!!!!!

[@thepieromancers7090]

Beautiful tone. One of the best Friday showcases so far

[@MrCrystalcranium]

Wow...a guitar that rings like a piano...Bill was an artisan with few rivals. Amazing how someone who didn't play made such iconic instruments.

[@christopherhalverson1203]

Falling Slowly was my wife and I's 'first dance' song at our wedding. That was beautifully played, thanks Mark.

[@charlesholliday3860]

This is the first time I've shed a few tears watching one of your videos yeah Bill Collins was a perfectionist he made wonderful instruments

[@MattySawcheck]

Nice job playing The Weight by the Band! I literally was just watching the Last Waltz!

[@jonjeffries3265]

Neil did a big gagger just b4 he came out..

[@michaeltesterman2208]

Absolutely amazing tone and sustain! Thank you for sharing, Mark!

[@Sabres73]

The Weight was a great choice. I sang along, as I'm sure many others did.

[@benjaminarmstrong7047]

I did sing!

[@montys8th]

Ok now that is one absolutely incredible guitar. Normally don't hear this clarity or resonance on something so comparatively new. Wow...

[@dogknott62]

BRAVO MARK !!! You brought tears to my eyes That guitar loves you

[@ronn4238]

Gotta admit that first tune choked me up. Going through some crap right now and it was a welcome moment of peace. Thanks, Mark and Jen. ☺

[@golfandvinyl]

I had to comment again. That guitar is f***ing amazing. To me, that is the perfect sound of a perfect dreadnaught. High fives to whoever scores that puppy.

[@michaelpeters3933]

Beautiful and moving playing in the first song. Thank you. :)

[@Crypticmaskguitar]

Thank You For Introducing Us To This Gorgeous Guitar We love This Aspect Of Your Channel And We Can't Wait To See What Gems You Have Tucked Away For Future Videos - Kevin

[@sickb2200]

Every Collings guitar I've played has had that top notch quality feel and amazing tones.

[@davebutcher8150]

Mark I understand you not wanting to say these things but your doing a lot of us a service. I did not know what the world lost today but it makes me sad and being sad is a good thing. The fact that we are sad means we lost someone great and that is proof he did what he was supposed to do when he was here.

[@mikeymojo8299]

#FlatTopFriday #RIPchester 1- don't know it, but it's beautiful 2- The Weight / The Band You're a class act Mark Agnesi 🤘🏻hi Jen! ☺️

[@RavioliCorleone1]

First one is Falling Slowly by Glen Hansard.

[@Sabres73]

LordOfTheLemon Thanks so much. It was driving me crazy. For those that still don't know, it's the song from the movie Once.

[@mikeymojo8299]

LordOfTheLemon thanks man

[@Aussieknuckleheads]

Mike M. the first one was one more light by linkin park.

[@mikeymojo8299]

Shroomsta cool, thanks man 👍🏼

[@814Taylor]

Beautiful guitar and playing!

[@IamRemoWilliams]

Love that first song selection.beautiful work.

[@briandixon2009]

Beautiful guitar and great playing. Thank you.

[@johngold6060]

Oh my, legacy lives on. What a tribute

[@auchlowtrus9300]

That guitar deserves a couple bluegrass licks

[@stkbkr1]

Beautiful music! Rock on!!!

[@gaetanbastien3144]

this one got me right in the heart and i will second the motion of Mike M. saying that Mark is a class act... and has for Jen.... hi Jennnnnnnnnn :-)

[@markviereck4547]

That is the best guitar I've heard on your site.. it is beautiful to see and hear

[@Sheepleton]

That first song sounds like the soundtrack to someone's life, it's amazing.

[@wingracer1614]

Well it is from a movie soundtrack. Once.

[@jaycoyoyo]

Flat top Friday is my favorite day, and this one sounds especially good!

[@john564holloway]

Impressed with this guitar only because I love and own Martins. If Collings was this good of a luthier, he should've built original designs. Rest in peace, Bill. Nice work...

[@soopr38]

Awesome guitar! Great choice of tunes and well played! You and Jen are great 👍🏻 The one thing I look forward to every day GOTD 😎

[@mistyrabka3651]

nuthin like an acoustic with incredible dynamic depth of sound great choice.

[@robotsongs]

Oh boy, a Collings! I'm about to call-in to the store and ask for a GotD of a HARMONY ROCKET IN REDBURST!

[@RRW276]

I did not know Bill passed. Gosh, I'm so sorry to hear that - what a loss. My dad and I were visiting family on Austin just a couple of years ago and we toured Collings. It was a great deal of fun and very informative. Bill wasn't there but I wish I had had the opportunity to meet him.

[@maxwellfan55]

They'll be a lot of people wanting to own this one, if it's you, take it out, PLAY IT PLAY IT PLAY IT, don't keep it in the box, then this would be Bill Collings greatest legacy for raising the bar of acoustic guitar building, and this one is very special. You did it full justice Mark, God Bless You.

[@jonlennon3348]

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL GUITAR AND THE SUSTAIN IS UNREAL.

[@thomasrichmond601]

I had this guitar.. Yes bill did a great job. Thanks guys.. until tomorrow ✌️

[@paulgeorgia8013]

Thomas Richmond what is the approximate value?

[@stopdead1]

What an amazing sounding guitar......

[@Frank-in-NY]

Hi Mark...Appreciate your remarks, and thoughts on Chester, of course the condolences to his family and bandmates. I'm in my 60's and liked a lot of Linkin Parks Songs. Chester was a talented man, he will be missed. I also wanted to say enjoy your Guitar of Day series, and your playing...you are good! If I ever get to the coast, I'll be sure to pay a visit Normans. Peace..

[@bobtaylor5932]

Collings is my favorite builder; have been since I first laid my hands on an I-35. Someday I'll have my own CL and SJ. Great feature, Mark. I'm still hurting from the loss.

[@ClarenceHW]

Gorgeous sound, great job Mark, Jen.

[@melvynobrien6193]

I've played one Collings when I played at Connollys of Leap. Lovely tone, great neck.

[@mattrogers1946]

Beautiful guitars!

[@DieselBoatMan]

Best sounding flat top yet. You know it's a winner when it rings when worked finger style, as well as with a pick.

[@dogknott62]

BRAVO MARK!!! That guitar loves you

[@matthewpaluch777]

Happy Flattop Friday Everyone. Rest easy Chester. I hope your family, friends & fans sorrow may be eased by the fact that your no longer hurting.

[@baindon719]

Beautiful guitar and sound.

[@Grayham4]

Beautiful. I nearly cried

[@MrBriankprice]

Nice, an episode that I can watch with my kids for once.

[@johnladdsmusic]

Nicely done👍🏼

[@timlilly]

Beautiful guitar and it sounds amazing

[@MacPakinga-gl8bu]

Love my EKO Ranger 🎸 12string have two 1 electric 1 acoustic. Beautiful sound ❤👍🏼🎸 Italian. 1960's

[@betadatadigitaljohn312]

Mark, well said on Chester man... I know it's not going to happen (well anything can happen though right?)... But I would love to one day see a Takamine flattop Friday! Have a good one!

[@golfandvinyl]

That is frickin amazing.

[@GuitarlosCarlos]

OMG THESE ARE FINE INSTRUMENTS ~ MY HEADPHONES ARE FILLING WITH THE RICH CRAFTSMANSHIP THIS ARTISTRY OF SKILL AND PROVEN WOODS BRING ~ WOW ~ PRECISELY SIAD THE PICK TO THE MUSICIAN ~ WHATEVER THE PRICE SO WORTH IT ~ CARLOS GUITARLOS 90042 USA

[@crazyuncleduke8012]

Great comment Carlos. Bill Collings was not "one of the best " but "THE BEST" builder of that era bar none. Mark is doing a wonderful job of displaying the sonic properties of Bill's guitars. I'm sad to hear of his passing.

[@guitardudeguy3139]

Wow, that guitar really sings!..You could play that guitar all day..all night..

[@imannonymous7707]

omg!! collings ya bro u kick ass i myy fav acoussticss RIP

[@ozzysman07]

Not gonna lie, probably one of the best acoustics I've ever heard

[@razor2ts]

Brazilian rosewood man!!! You can hear and see why they call it the Holy Grail of guitar woods!!! Fabulous axe.

[@Wizardofgosz]

Music from the film Once. One of my favs. Won an Oscar.

[@tomjohn9385]

Nice super nice guitar. So there are other makers besides Martin and Gibson. So cool to see really great guitars this week. Please keep mixing it up when ever possible!! Oh yeah Vox please!

[@copierguy1961A]

What an awesome guitar!!!

[@jamescampbell7780]

Splendid tribute Mark: Well done!

[@guitarguy6662]

That guitar sounds amazing wow

[@ericfaley9019]

What a beautiful guitar. How can anyone give it thumbs down

[@richiewalteriv]

Didn't expect Falling Slowly! It has some pretty deep meaning to me which is nice and some of The Band which is always nice

[@tkfire8851]

Hey mark please play some linkin park on a PRS for straturday #RIPChester

[@RockHardRiffs]

great bright tone

[@judsonclayto7813]

great tribute video!

[@howaboutno309]

That first tune you played was beautiful man

[@gidge34]

Right in the feels

[@andrewptob]

The Weight sounded so amazing on that guitar. Wow.

[@brianisaacs5457]

As old as me! Beautiful guitar, love it. My 25 birthday is August 20. Could you please do a telecaster and play a Waylon Jennings song on it? I have been trying to learn on my own for over 6 years.

[@joebodynobody764]

Falling slowly- Glen Hansard The weight- The Band Great guitar, maybe an old Harmony someday?

[@thai620]

I play bass but can tell this one is a keeper, thanks for the demo mark.

[@hello-cd7ly]

Beautiful.

[@Pannemat]

All guitars at noon and a little howling at midnight.

[@highgros]

No doubt this is a very fine instrument! But Mr. Agnesi, I do believe you are underrated as a guitar player. I would love to hear one of your originals.

[@geetarbube]

RIP, Bill and Chester

[@budshatter3048]

I'm not much of an acoustic guy, however that guitar sounded great very impressed easy to see the quality if it's build.

[@MrCrystalcranium]

What a great guitar...you know, of course, Collings couldn't play a note. Just amazing that he built such masterpiece instruments.

[@johnnybravoski7048]

F-ck sakes! What tone!!! How have I never heard of this builder? Thanks for learnin me Mark!

[@photopicker]

Bill was at the beginning of the "boutique" guitar boom where many builders started to get recognized for building high end instruments for the "discerning" ear, meaning people with $$$$ to burn. A whole lot of builders did very very well once upon a time. And some to this day. So many choices. It is overwhelming and predictably expensive.

[@davecheney8501]

Amazing instrument❤

[@msspi764]

Good guitars play chords so you can clearly hear the chord. Great guitars play chords so you can hear the chord and the individual strings. Even over super crappy youtube sound I can hear the strings and the chord, not to mention the rosewood and spruce interplay. That is an amazing guitar. @GuitarlosCarlos, right on!

[@mcmickey3344]

Some beautiful playing... names of songs and tabs?

[@trevorjamesbradley3010]

Why would someone give this video a thumbs down? I'm at a loss.

[@willstark9711]

Lets get a Duo-Sonic Mark!!

[@bPcrazydave]

Yeah!! What he said!!

[@jrp7837]

Wow, that sounds good!
