The Collings Forum

My OM2h has a baked top. Sitka, not addi. Honestly, I played the 4 or 5 they had in the shop and this was the one I liked the best. It was the only baked one in the shop that day. To my ears, it sounded more direct, the attack seemed quicker and it was a tad louder than the others. It seemed to have...

I'm somewhat new to Collings, so I'll leave the rest of your questions to the more experienced, but I do know about sitka vs adarondak (which is technically red spruce). Sitka is the softer of the two, and typically will have a softer attack while being more responsive when played quietly. Red spruc...

Another update: I spoke to Mark, who asked me to call him. He went a pulled out a few OM cases and told me they were all like that to some extent. The woman from TKL said it will probably "break in" and get better with a little time and use. I didn't see any point of getting another that h...

An update: Got this email from TKL this morning: "regarding your Collings case - Collings would replace your case and I will pick up the case you currently have with the lid problem. If you do not have a box to send the defective case back in, you can wait until you do get the new case.." ...

I'm a happy Elixir nanoweb user, but I have some of the new DaDarrio XS's I'm going to try on my OM2H next time.

Picked up a new Collings OM2H baked top a few weeks ago. You may have seen my NGD post. Anyway, guitar is great, but the TKL case has a misaligned lid. It can be closed but you have to put a good bit on pressure on the hinge side of the lid and force it a little. Case went from dealer to my house an...

I know where you are coming from. I played a JL in Nashville and it blew me away! Everything about it was just amazing except I have to have a 1 3/4" nut. Otherwise it would have followed me home. Congrats on your new guitar. If you don't mind, please do post your thoughts and maybe a pic or tw...

Thanks. I didn't start the relationship, been doing business with those guys for about 20 years. Still the best shop in town I know about.

Thanks guys. Yea, the back has a bit of purple to it. Not sure if that comes across in the pics. A bit of back story: I went into my favorite LGS a few days ago and played some guitars. There was this one Collings OM2h with a baked top that just blew me away. I wasn't really looking for anything in ...

Hi guys, just got an OM2h baked top. My 1st Collings. I've wanted a Collings for as long as I can remember, but the stars finally aligned for me with this one. Anyway, just wanted to say hi and show off my new guitar.
