Re: WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE COLLINGS, AND WHY?

this D-45. LL got a chance to play it in the shop before pickguard. i've had lots of collings guitars and mandos since 93, but this is on another planet, even if blindfolded. my next favorite was a ss, German madagascar CJ burst. it was LOUD!

good work. from the era when folks started to say, the best martins are made by bill collings. and rightly so.

Re: CJ35 neck vs 45 neck

what would make the most difference to me is poly vs lacquer neck. i believe that the Ts all have lacquer neck, which bogged me down a bit (not a chemistry thing - just didn't slide as easily.) be interested to hear thoughts. i don't know for a fact, nor do i know if the 45T has a lacquer neck.

Re: James tailpiece

i'm new to the james tailpiece. what an improvement from a practical standpoint for me. not near as incredble looking as the engraved collings, but so much easier to restring:)

Re: NGD - C10 Deluxe Varnish Hog/Adi

i've bought 3 used varnish guitars in the last couple years and i love them. had a new one and sold it early on... not knowing how special it would become tonally and patina-wise after only a couple of years. i learned my lesson. good work!
