The Collings Forum

There are lots of reasons to buy an older, well-played in Collings. Old, played-in wood is a great thing - even greater on a Collings.

This is an outstanding Collings 00 14 fret Traditional. These are getting a lot of love and with good reason. This ...

maybe I have actually learned something with age?
