Update: finally put the original Lollars back in, I had never heard them in this guitar as I bought it with SD's preinstalled. I like the Lollars, sold the SD's.
I thought you might. :)

Re: pre/post 2013?

Eric, There's a "Collings Gathering" member from the eastern USA, named Jim who has a brazillian CW serial # 300 if I'm not mistaken. One of the finest guitars i've heard. Made in 1990. Wonderful guitar. http://www.daviddugas.com/guitars/0300/0300.htm Wow. I'm sure that's a phenomenal gui...

Re: pre/post 2013?

if you haven't heard a 20 or 30 year old Collings.... you're missing something. Agreed. I think you can also hear great improvements in younger guitars. In my case, it was about 7 years where the 2001 D2H matured into a finer sound. And I've heard that from a few others -- that 5-7 years is where t...

Re: pre/post 2013?

There's some salesmanship in that statement, no doubt, but he may not be wrong. I've never seen a careful poll to validate it, though there have been a few marked changes that most might consider an upgrade to the previous construction methods. As Hokiebob said, these aren't major shifts, but they w...

Re: Wireless Guitar Cable

I may have to give it a try. I really like the idea of the (highly) shortened cable length, but worry about the added A/D and D/A and the subsequent compressed sound you mentioned.

Re: Calton Cases - in pictures

Forgive my ignorance on the topic -- it's been a while since I checked in on Calton cases (though I do own a couple). These current iteration seem to be very solid. Are the hints of quality issues from 15(ish) years ago completely gone from today's production line? Those older ones had so many probl...
