The Collings Forum

Well, Collings uses a Single-0 size for its 12-strings, so it IS a small guitar. It also has a short-scale, too, so tuning down, like most old 12-string players did back in the day, won't be easy. Doug Young, the gent in the video, is also a large fellow, so it adds to the small look.

I have a WL-S and find it excellent for swing style playing. Like the WL-S, Maccaferri and Selmer style guitars are ladder-braced, so they have a crisp, quick sound that really can cut through a band.

A 12-string is definitely my favorite idea. But, I'd like something larger than the Collings 12-string, in the Stella style, to match my WL-S.

Also, ukuleles, perhaps in the style of Lyon & Healy or Washburn ukes from the '20s, and a tenor guitar.
