Re: The T series - Please explain to me

I would like to know how these new guitar models from Collings Compare to the varnish guitars. I have both a varnish finish Collings Standard model (non Traditional) and a Collings Traditional model with the "thinner finish" lacquer. IMO the "thinness" of those two are similar, ...

Re: Signed Labels

Glad you looked close. Many can be hard to read. You have to know what to look for too! I read somewhere a few years ago that the ink in the pens Bill used to sign the labels ages differently than the logo ink printed onto the labels. I dunno if that is true but it sounds logical...

Re: Signed Labels

I have an OM2 MRAT (madagascar rosewood adirondack traditional) that the dealer received from the factory the week of Bill's death. It does not have his signature. My sense (guess) is he likely stopped signing labels within a month prior to his death...just a guess. I too have heard that from time t...

Re: The T series - Please explain to me

My sense of it: The T box is not as "tight". It is built just a bit "looser". Just like tuning a drum head so it is not tuned as tight and rigid as possible, the resulting fundamental tone is a bit lower. In the T series, the looser box translates to a very slightly darker / deep...

Re: OM1-A Varnish "High Upkeep"

IMG_3789.JPG This is the letter that Collings sent with my D42. While I could tell the finish was slightly more delicate than their standard (pre Traditional model) finish, it really was not any additional challenge to care for IMO. And today, 5 years later, it seems to require no extra attention f...
