Guitarville. 15 Nov 2013.
I stopped by Collings Guitars in Austin, TX last week. (Actually they’re not REALLY in Austin proper, but don’t tell anyone). This is an OM1 that’s under construction.

When Kubrick filmed 2001:A Space Odyssey, he described each segment as a ‘non-submersible unit’. Each one is a discrete sequence.
