The Collings Forum

Mucho Gracias! Your tuning technique is very helpful. I’ll give it a go tonight! I am aware of the graphite trick, never able to scrounge up a pencil around here!
About your guitar. I have been thinking about acquiring a DS1 myself, not now but down the road, so to speak. I currently play a 000-3 ...

Well my second thread today!

My OOO3 has the pickguard lifting around it’s perimeter.

Any thoughts on why this happened?

Should I try to have this fixed?

Any opinions highly valued.

Light gauge J-16 one time the d’addario custom lights.
I store my guitar tuned down, so I always have to tune up a step or so before I play. I play in standard tuning mostly (love this guitar in lower pitched tunings though!)

When ever I am tuning, my strings stick in the nut. After tuning, while playing the tuning will “jump” out of tune. Such a pain!
Oh almost forgot:
* usually the D and G
* OOO3 model

What’s the best fix?

I too, am new to the forum. I have a keen interest in the i-35. I currently play a fender telecaster and a Collings OOO3. I really want a Collings semi-hollow, not sure yet which one would be best for me. The I-35 is at the top of my short list at this time.

Just saying hi, just joined the Collings Forum. I’ve been a “lurker “ for awhile. I play one Collings-would like to own another. Leaning towards an I-35 at this time. We’ll see.
