Re: Why are so many baked and traditional guitars up for sale?

I’ve owned most models made by Collings at one time or another (missed a few) and played just about every model over the past ~10 years. My preferred guitars have all been Standards. I’ve actively pursued T models and Baked versions, but none have matched what I’ve experienced with the Standard seri...

Re: OM1 vs OM1 T Thoughts/Opinions

I’ve owned quite a few Collings from 00 - D. My favorite models have been OMs. There are 2 Standard OMs that have been with me a long time, and I expect they will be with me until the end. I’ve tried T models on many occasions with the idea I would add an OM T to my lineup. However, I find the clari...

Re: Am I Being Too Picky?

You can’t beat Collings. I think they have the best QC for the things they make and the best customer service. I’ve contacted Mark about guitars I’ve purchased 10 years ago and they respond like it was sold yesterday. I’m glad this worked out for you so well.

Re: Effect of picks on sound.

I thought the Clayton was pretty “in your face”. But we all have favorites. Thanks.

Beautiful guitar. I still haven’t had the chance to play one, but look forward to the opportunity. And the case — nice!

Re: New truss rod arrangement on Traditionals - Noticeable difference?

I get a kick out of the “forum fuss” over tweaks. I’ve owned 8 Collings guitars in just about every size. My 2 favorite Collings are the ones I kept over the years. They are standard models. I’ve played the newest options Collings has developed including Traditional models, satin finish, new neck co...
