Re: Thomastik Infeld Plectrum

TI strings are great. There's a rather big difference between Spectrum and Plectrum strings. Be careful with that .061 6th string. It may not fit properly in your bridge with its bridge pin.

Re: sitka surprise!

Adirondack can sound and behave differently than other topwoods, including Sitka.

I like them both and appreciate their differences, if present.

Re: Collings 6/1

I've noticed over the past decade or so that many other high quality luthiers (e.g., Froggy Bottom, Santa Cruz, Bourgeois, Tippin, etc.) have raised their prices much more than Collings has raised their prices. I suspect Collings may be catching up with economic reality.
