The Collings Forum

I have an issue with finish flaking on my MT2. Same issue on both sides of mandolin as seen in photo. Has anyone tried to repair something like this, including using the Stewmac lacquer ColorTone Touch-up Marker? I'm not the original owner, so not covered under warranty.

MT2 ...

I learned that the endpin was glued in when I researched after breaking it off! I had to drill out what was left. The James tp screw holes lined up prefectly. The endpin hole in the James tp was elongated to accomodate slighty different endpin locations.

I recently put a James tailpiece on my MT2--not hard to do, but I didn't realize that Collings glues in their endpins!

Thanks, Greg.

I put 75's on Thursday and had a little gig last night, and didn't like the feel at all. I put GHS 270's on this morning and really like them so far.

Collings mandolins leave the factory with J74 strings. Do any of you have experience using J75's?
Thanks!

Just found this new forum today--thank you!

Wanted: Collings/TKL MT2 or MT case. I imagine there is someone out here who has upgraded?

Thanks

Happy to find this forum today--howdy from western NC!
