The Collings Forum

I've grown very fond of the Collings 00 models. I've been working on flat picking for a bit, old fiddle tunes and the like. All of the 00 guitars I have do just fine for it. I've got a wonderful 001 14-fret T that is nice and balanced, projects very well. My 001 Mh T is super too, I will flat pick ...

Here here! I am certain that Steve Nall will continue that wonderful legacy.

Beautiful!

Loving it so far. It's my first Collings. I'll get a post up with some pics as I am new to the forum too.

Congrats Wproffitt! I had an 001 14-Fret T on order with Artisan when I was slightly tempted to pick up that very OM T instead after their video. It looks and sounds fantastic. I ended up with a stellar 001 14 though. Enjoy!
