  I had been toying with the idea of getting a new Ghia head, as I've often wished I hadn't sold my '98 Mean Green Ghia to my friend who absolutely loves it. An anniversary edition would have been very cool, but wasn't in the cards at the moment. So I "accidentally" just picked up this little guy off ebay. It's the head that I wanted, with a convenient little Red Fang attached  . It's nearly as portable as a head, and I can plug it into a bigger cab if I need to make more noise. This is a rock & roll machine, pictured above with my two favorite friends for playing loud "rawk". I had forgotten how unique the Ghia sounds, and I'm shocked that this little guy doesn't sound boxy at all. |

There's a guy on TGP and the Collings forum, jkima, that finishes and antiques f-style guitars. He put this 360 up that he had done, and it grabbed me. I offered a 290 that I had personally aged (by banging it around  ) as a trade, and the rest is history. I at times miss my 290, but this is a really unique guitar. |

Finally got my Ghia combo out for practice last night. It was... LOUD. yikes! I could barely get its legs stretched out, but sounded very cool. The COT side of my new lovepedal Amp Eleven (prymaxe version) is a really, really nice match. Even fully counterclockwise, it gave it some great snarl. Great amp! |

Yeah burnsy I put brakelite in and it makes it very adjustable to conditions.I played a jam last wkd and I started at 3 ended up at 1.no pedals. Its going to take a little time to dial in...I do want to use my boost with it but I was trying to get it up and running without. At 3 I had to turn up to 2 vol amp....still wasn't cutting it with the other loud arse guitarplayer.At 1 it started to be a fair fight...sort of speak. And yes great amp brudda,must agree  |

Of course I love Carmen Ghias, but that Collings guitar is sweet.

I love my Ghia, but I'm also taken by your Collings. The combination must be magical.
