Re: Braces

Loose braces are most improbable. How old are these guitars? Did you buy them used?

I too have not preferred torrefied tops on Collings. It’s hard to put into words but I think Mr. Jelly might have captured it.

Re: Collings CJ 41 value?

Harmon,

You’ve got a unique instrument there. Gonna be hard to find any price points on the market. How about findIng some comparable used CJ prices, then add some $$$ on for the bling...maybe 50% of the current cost of the 41-style and flourish options?

Re: 41 vs. 42 Style Top Border

Very cool! I think the only difference is that 41 style lacks the abalone around the fretboard extension.

Re: Question on 1999 D-1 Pins...

That’s a beauty, Bill. I’ve had my ‘99 D1A almost as long, and I’m ashamed to say I’ve never paid attention to the pins. I’ll have to go look to see if they’re slotted. But I was under the same impression that either the pins or the bridge would be slotted. I looked at mine and the pins are slotted....

The Alien? Glad to hear of its continued existence and greatness. If only the rest of us could play it once...
