The Collings Forum

Would swap my Collings D Trad case for an OM Trad case. In WNC.

I believe the Collings TKL case will easily accommodate a D or a CJ, but the Collings-made vintage D case is too narrow for the CJ. The Collings-made vintage CJ case exists, but is quite limited in number.

I like the 1.14 Ultrex by Dunlop. Cheap and long lasting.

That's a beauty! Good luck!

One on Reverb for $3K.

The C10-35 is a great guitar and hope you are not having a problem with it. What do you need in a luthier?

I should have mentioned earlier, besides the four very fine Collings CJs I've had, I've had a whirl with two slopes, a Kopp, and a Walker, neither of which in my experience could compete with Bill's product.

Each of these MCs seem to have nicely figured necks to go along with their beautifly figured b&s as well. Likely just another tasteful pairing decision from the fine folks from Austin for this particular series.
Enjoy them!

I've sold the stock TKL Collings branded cases and replaced them with the far superior and light weight Hiscox Pro ll, too. And it fits a D or slope equally well!
It can be found for under $300 shipped.

Have had four Collings CJs: a wonderful CJMhGSB, now owned by a close friend, a CJMhSBss, CJ-35GSB, and presently a CJMhASBss varnish, which I hope to keep!
