The Collings Forum

I was a bit disappointed for a while with mine, a Sitka-topped I traded for. It was used and hadn't beeen played much, like all the Collings guitars I get. However, after putting some time in, I have one helluva newfound love for what all the fuss is about: they have achieved what they set out to do ...

Looks like the newer Collings come stock with them. They're on my CJ45 and I have fewer tuning worries than ever!

Where does OGS sit in the Collings range of price for upgraded top woods they offer? Presently, each of the three I own are of Sitka.

Anyone have an idea of just what the layout of the CJ45T wartime scalloped bracing looks like? Sure is a tonal departure for Collings.

Should be Sitka. How do you like your 45?

Wow, that's a little beauty. Good luck!

CJ Mahogany Series Custom on Reverb.
What they don't tout is that it's a Varnish finish and it is priced right for such. Check it out!

Can we get your take on the playability of this neck, known to be a bit on the hefty side.

Trade 2 sets Pearse New Meds, 1 set Meds for 3 sets EJ 17s.

The 35 features the Vintage Now carve which may be spec'd on just about any other model. I haven't had the pleasure to try the 45 yet.
