The Collings Forum

I just labored over whether or not to trade a '90s Collings (and cash) for a new vanilla sitka/EIR OM2H. I've owned four collings over the last decade. The new may actually be the best of them all, and I didn't think Collings could get any better. Ah! Really! Well, I'm so happy to hear you are happ...

apparently it did sell quick...it was available when I posted. You will find what you want...OM2h's are not rare, just find the right one at the right time. Will probably lead to getting more than one. :) The way I found it online was based off the Collings Dealers page on their website. Most deale...

The Music Emporium is a good store to buy from, based on numerous reports on the old Collings forum, plus my experience buying a Collings electric from them. They've sold Collings and other excellent guitars for a long time. Well worth calling them and asking any questions about the guitar's histor...

Thank you again! I will share on the forum once I get my Collings! (though I don't know when it'll be.)
Looks like the one you posted has sold quick! haha.

ok, I'm totally out of place here, apologies. But, it's a rainy day, truck's sitting in the mud outside, so been playing guitar and thinking about this topic...and went down a google rabbit hole regarding the Collings OM2h.

Collingsoon, I'm not well versed on pickups. There are many others that have worlds more experience that can give advice. That said, my 0002-h came with a K&K pickup installed, and I have a soundhole pickup that I switch between the other guitars when needed. K&K seems to have a good reputa...

typed a big long reply, and then the computer crashed...ughhh. Short version: Ideally you could play them before deciding. You did not say, but is the 2021 a bargain, or is the 2001 overpriced? Collings are incredibly consistent in build quality and sound....so, either way sound/quality will be sim...

Thank you :P for sharing your experience! Very cool how the situation is similar! I can only imagine how warm and deeply beautiful your guitar sounds. So, even if the guitar is $4000, would the broken in guitar(in great condition) be a good choice? I am wondering at what price point/conditions it is...

Please help.. haha.

There are no collings for me to try and compare, so I would really like your experienced advice.
How would you describe the sounds of a torrified spruce top vs an aged non torrified?

Hello everyone! I am finally deciding to upgrade my guitar from the Yamaha FGX700SC to a Collings! I am looking at the OM2H and was wondering, if there is a 2001 and a 2021, both in good condition and same price, which would you get and why? If there are any MUST KNOW info before I purchase a used C...
