Congrats- Enjoy the new SJ. Great guitars

Collings tops the chart with clarity, if that’s what you’re after.

I played my first C-100 today, a used model in a shop. It was quite comfortable and had a nice all-around voice. I wasn’t able to compare it to a Martin dread (or, directly, to any other dread, though I played dreads as well).

Wow that is amazing — thanks for the post. Love the goofy old print publications that oozed with character.

I also hadn’t heard about the pending retirement. Any more details?

I’ve heard/read the same rumors and don’t have any new info I’d call solid. I have heard they’re still putting out a couple a month, but I don’t know if that’s accurate. Or, if so, whether they’re still producing Waterloos or just finishing up ones in progress.

They are gorgeous and I’m sure will sound fantastic. Still hope to see/play one someday.

These folks have one advertised.


Good eye!

Yowza that’s more than the CJ-45 T. Quite alluring.

I hope I can find one to try. I’m not sure about the deep body because of arm/shoulder issues.
