Re: Bridges

Hi Stuart, et al, I'm a 12 fret freak, and have three DS models, an 000, and recently, a 00. I expect a belly bridge on my dreads (with mediums) and pyramids on the rest (with lights). So Martin deigned these great guitar shapes, but I've seen belly bridges on the smaller guitars, which just don't l...

Re: You can only have two.

Well, I'd want to have one of my Collings Dreads, so I guess it would be my 2007 Ds2h.
The other , maybe my recently acquired '99 002h .... but I'd sorely miss my '03 0002h, and I'd lose a quarter of my repertoire if I couldn't have my Martin D12-20/35 custom.

Collings 002h 1998 build. changes since 1998?

Well, I have finally got my long awaited Collings 00 to go with my Ds2h (08) and my 0002h(03). It doesn't seem to have been played much - maybe spent a long time as a wall hanger. It's slowly coming back to life, but really needs playing in. My question is that the rosewood back and sides do not app...

1999 oo2h. Pick guard??

It appeared on UK Ebay last weekend.
It arrived at my home today (12th).

I won't be using a pick on this lovely little guitar, but I like my flat tops to have pickguards

Does anyone, by chance have a suitably sized unused pick guard they don't want?

Re: WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE COLLINGS, AND WHY?

Hi, it's too quiet around here, so I thought I'd rattle the coffee cups a little. My first Collings was a new DS2h bought in 1999, after a long search for a dreadnought the fitted my hands and style (I'd been looking for a Martin D18/28/35-S (1 & 7/8" nuts) a kind sales guy in London got tw...

Re: Collings Nomenclature and Specs

How are yuo getting on Greg? Yuo should be aware that the "T" style 12 fretters all have 1 & 3/4" nut widts for some reason, which would negate them for me, as i only went the Collings way for the wider fretboards. I have three dreads and a 000 all 12 frets 1 & 13/16! nuts.

Re: Options and differences.

Hi, I'm late to this paerty but FWIW, I'll share my prefs and why I'm a Collings player. Had a D35 for 21 years and it served me well. I sold it to a friend to buy a J-40. BIG mistake - shallow neck etc. Didn't work for me. Opening for a late great singer/guitarist called Isaac Guillory , after I wh...

Re: You can only have two.

Hello ? Hi, anybody here ? No ? OK, I'll talk to myself. Dreadnought - one of my Collings 12 fret dreads, but not sure which, either my DS2h or my DS1 or my DS1ASB. Difficult choice. No.2 ? Tricky again, either my 0002h or for home noodling and teaching - maybe a 002h that has avoided me to date. If...
