The Collings Forum

I don’t have an OM1 but I do have an OM2hT and I find it great for DADGAD - in fact I just put out an instrumental album almost entirely in that tuning and almost entirely played on my Collings I just use regular 12-53 strings but I’ve sometimes swapped in some heavier strings for the trebles, depen...

i owned a few traditionals over time since they were introduced - just sold the last (doesn't mean i'm done with them). i do love them, but when it came down to parting with an instrument, i have so far ended up always siding with the "original." a factor for me actually was the neck: but...

Hey Andy! Here's a reply I posted to a similar thread here: "I have an OM2hT and I owned a OM2h ss vn for three years and had them both at the same time for a year or so - at one point those guitars were my gigging instruments so I played them back to back a lot. Obviously there was a scale len...

Lucky you! I'd love to get one with the Traditional neck carve as a compliment to my OM2hT one day...

Did you go for it, Jack? Noticed it went the day after your post. I looked at GuitarGuitar's site yesterday and a D-1 and a 002-h (I think it was) have now gone. I mentioned it in my earlier post, but there seems to have been a big buying spree on Collings in the UK. I had half-an-eye on that D-1, ...

that is cute!

I really love the look of the 0 and the new 00-14 T models - would love to get hold of an 01 or 00-14 1T at some point...

that CJ35 at Guitar Guitar has had me hovering over the finance button a few times!

That's great advice, Malc and Jack. Thank you both! Being predominantly an electric guitar player, I go through phases of A) wondering why I would need another acoustic (and an expensive one at that) if I already have a Gibson SJ-200, and B) trying to convince myself I need another acoustic just be...

Hi Tremolo, Another Collings player here from the UK/Scotland. Jackorion has covered the points you raise very well and his advice in terms of UK Collings dealers is spot on. The bottom line is there are not a lot of Collings acoustics in the UK at this current time and it's likely that new stock t...

Hey! Thank you so much for your reply! You must be related to Sherlock Holmes as you were right about the location of the D2H I tried. Indeed I was at Coda earlier this week and tried that exact guitar. It is a stunning instrument - visually and sonically. I compared it to a Martin D-35 and a bunch...
