Re: fret wear
Ha! 2-3 hours 7 days a week? Nice.. I have a 2015 CJ that i played the heck out of for years. I was also a bit alarmed at my fret wear. Posted about it and people were great.

Re: Strings
A while ago I saw this post for Santa Cruz low tension parabolic strings. Thanks. Tried em on my CJ. They are almost too good. Very even, well balanced tonal range. And, they last longer imo. I will bounce for the next change, have some JP's in my inventory, mediums and "new" mediums. I'll...

Temperature change
Hey, I treat my 2015 CJ like royalty. At times (wife napping) I want to play in another room, but typically I keep the temperature down in that room (New England heat season - July, August, winter), a difference of say 8-10 degrees. Humidity is close to 50% in both rooms. I find no information that ...

Re: New Guy!
Congrats! A great purchase. I was looking for something new, but Collings was out of the question. Not a good enough player, too much money. Until I played one. Mines a 2015 SS SB CJ with a German top. I'm still absolutely in love with it. I plan to look for a smaller body maybe, but you'll have to ...

Extra Key for Collings TKL Case
OMG
Couldn't find the case key to my 2014 CJ TKL case this morning.
Yay! Wife found it. But I was jones-ing immediately.
More than 1 key would be intelligent.
Looked all over the place online, found virtually no results where to be able to get another key.
Ideas?
Thanks
Rick

Re: Knocked out - my new Collings SJ Indian
I haven't commented forever. Your enthusiasm got me. And, I have to admit, you've made me interested in SJ's. Life is funny, so are guitars. All I knew was Martins and Gibsons. I knew of Collings, but never even considered spending the money. My friend told me about an upscale guitar store. I played...

Fret wear/replacement
Hey out there! Love my German spruce short scale CJ. Really do. A little too much maybe. I'm gonna need to replace some frets soon. Any advise? I live just north of Boston. Music Emporium (Lexington) says they will only service instuments that they sold. Know of any top flight luthiers around here? ...

Re: CJ Mh sunburst en route
Oh man. Hope you love it. I was looking around for a better guitar and played a CJMHSS in a store and fell in love. I went back to try to purchase it and the sales guy said it had been damaged (sales guy had an attitude I really didnt like that day) and not for sale. Anyway, I found a rosewood CJSBS...
