    I would love to try out a Collings oval. I have never seen one in person.

    I tried out a honey amber MT-O at Guitarworks near Chicago and it was beautiful bell-tones all up the neck. Phew. Don't get me thinkin of that one again.

    I love the MT2-O. Perfect for me-- sounds and plays wonderfully, and when you are tired you can just look at it!
    Of course the picture says one is from Nosbig and the other from Sgnilloc.....
