The Collings Forum

I've had an 2022 OM2h for the last few months, and used to have an older OM1 and a '90s DS2H, and I've been saying the same as kh1967 in conversations - the 2022 doesn't give up a thing to the older builds.

Howdy! I picked this up as part of trade deal about 6 months ago because I genuinely love everything Collings, but I really need a dreadnaught for some flatpicking/fiddle plans this spring and summer, and I have a lesser small body that I'm sentimentally attached to.

I just traded a DS2H and some stuff for a new OM2H, and while it pained me to do it, I think I made the right decision. The DS2H was a '90s model, and for all I know, Bill himself may have been part of buildin...

Howdy! I've got a late '90s DS2H and it's going to need new frets one of these days - certainly the first 5. The last time I had it in the shop for a saddle adjustment, my trusted guy said the neck angle is healthy, and it hasn't moved since, so maybe that's not necessary. My question: I've got good...
