Social Media or Here?
We have all seen the rise of social media. It has been a ride. Is it old school, new school, or no difference? Most or all of your know that there is a Facebook page dedicated to Collings with thousands of followers around the world. It has grown fast and steadily and continues to grow. This is a gr...

Re: Torrified Guitar Tops
As previously stated in this thread many factors affect the way a guitar sounds. A torrified topped guitar will have its own characteristic response and sound when coupled to the other elements of the guitar. A general statement would be that all torrefied guitars have a particular tone, attack, rel...

Re: All my Collings guitars are acting up!
I thought about this for a couple of days. Unless you are in a drop tuning from where your Collings were set up, or you did saddle or nut work, or you are using lower tension strings after setup, there is not a good explanation for what you are experiencing. There is not substitute for a guitar guit...

Re: Any other 12 fret freaks out there?
I wonder whether any of y'all have played one of those 0000-sized Martin 12-fretters. Gruhn's has a bunch of them made out of sinker mahogany that are pleasing to the eye, complete with a lovely slot-head. (I know it's not a Collings, but I love a Martin too.)

Re: Collings OM1ajl

Re: Mandolin roll call -- who's got 'em and whatcha got?
Fortunately, mandolins stick here. I have only owned two and I still have both of them. One is an MT2V and the other is the Ivory/Burgundy MT2O https://www.collingsguitars.com/custom- ... cream-top/. Very different Mandolins but very enjoyable.

Re: My new Collings 000 42 headstock..
Really a nice guitar! I even like how the color tone of the tuners match the top and are accented by the black MOP. Congrats!
