Re: OM3SS
Welcome to the Forum. You are correct, SS stands for short scale.

Re: storage for flatpicks and fingerpicks
I’ll second the suggestion to use small tins. I happen to use these Grether’s tins.

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: Stability of Torrefied Tops
I think most of the people in the know actually keep quiet. Torrefied wood is a little like politics and religion. It is better not to talk about it in public. With that said, I can give some background on the wood. Baking wood has been used in Scandinavian countries amongst others to make wood mor...

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*

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...
