Welcome to the Forum. You are correct, SS stands for short scale.

Re: Knocked out - my new Collings SJ Indian

Congratulations! The SJ is a beautiful guitar with a great sound and I like the deep waist. It feels very nice while being played. It plays bigger than it feels. I’ve owned 4 different models from Collings, but never an SJ — yet. Enjoy.

Re: truss rod adjustment

That’s good to know Frank. I’ve not had problems tweaking my Collings TRs yet, but none have been “set in their ways.”

Re: Fret wear/replacement

I have Evo on both of my Goodall guitars and they feel fine, wear fantastic. I’ve not done a side-by-side with Collings, so I’d get Collings opinion first. Collings did a re-fret on a friends guitar — but that was quite a while ago. Its possible they may have a different game plan these days, but wo...

Re: Fret wear/replacement

I guess it depends on how obsessive a person might be; and how often you need this done. I would only need this done after 5+ years of hard use and would consider sending it back to Collings. I would also get their opinion about re-fretting using evo.

Re: Collings Made Case Information *UPDATE*

The current Collings pricing is very much in line with the cost of comparable instruments like Santa Cruz and Bourgeois — which have also raised prices recently. Prices change, that’s just how it goes. Fortunately there are many choices in the marketplace and we get to buy what we like. Collings are...
