now know everything about the Collectors series. Founded in 1982, went on until 2009 (actually the Collector 2010 was named by us fans, but officially it is a limited edition ...) with the aim of proposing to afficionados mark a unique guitar, limited edition incorporating any new one. Own admission of the house, sometimes the project went ahead, perhaps more for marketing than for real news. E As you know many of the special series Collectors were then transferred to standard productions, such as the introduction of the super shallow bowl, pick up the use of thin-line, the use of oil finish of the handles, a 16-key model, new electronics, new bracing, the combination of the piezo bridge pickup with built-in microphone, re-introduction of mid-depth bowl ... in addition to the varieties of wood used by resonance to the top and the introduction in 1997 of a model Parlor.
