Vintage Guitar Label

Label inside my father's gift to me - a custom made acoustic guitar forever ivory inlaid on neck as 'Vern', in 1986 when Bill Collings was just starting his enterprise in Austin, Texas. I contacted the factory about the "53%" notation at bottom, and Bill replied, "that was the humidity in my garage at the time."

"I'm gonna sell the bitch's car and buy myself a cool guitar" - Jimmy Thackery, bluesman
