Re: NAME THE FORUM!

Thanks to all for the great suggestions! Due to the various factors of our situation here, a very simple and basic "The Collings Forum" seems to fit. Nearly every fan site I belong to follows this structure ("The <insert product name here> Forum") and the title doesn't suggest th...

Re: FORUM INTRODUCTIONS

Iasked about the old forum on the AGF - I was "reprimanded (again) for mentioning a "competitve" forum ... for goodness sake. It's a ridiculous rule at AGF, and I'm pretty sure that my announcement at UMGF has been deleted, too. I understand not wanting one forum's baggage to drift i...

Re: Strings

The other brand I use is Pyramid. For whatever reason it sounds better than everything else on my '43 D-18, however, this brand doesn't sound as good on any other acoustic I own. Just my opinion of course but it's held true for a few years.

Re: Guitar recommendation needed

Tough question. Your influences play a variety of guitars so no single axe would give you everything. The best Collings for the task? Personally, I'd not go with the CL. The I-35 is my favorite Collings, and one of my favorite guitars period, but in this case I'd also look closely at the 290. Pullin...

Re: FORUM INTRODUCTIONS

Larry, Could you please do the Forum a favour, and start a thread over on AGF and put a link up to the new site? There were a bunch of threads asking what wasting on. I just tried starting a new thread, but after posting it it disappeared. I think AGF has a policy that prohibits the mention of othe...

Re: NAME THE FORUM!

Unofficial Collings Forum I have heard, been told that Collings would like that the forum, Facebook pages not use the Collings name in a official manner and it was more like the Martin forum. Since it is not officially sanctioned by Collings all opinions or comments are the opinion of the writer no...

Re: NAME THE FORUM!

Great suggestions keep coming in -- thanks everyone! Just to mention where my thoughts are at the moment: reference to the name Collings is a must, and the word "Forum" seems logical as well. I do feel a tinge of discomfort with the word "New" primarily because it suggests that w...
