You can bet the normal 000-T will follow this limited deep-body release. Why wouldn’t it? Unless they couldn’t get the formula to work on a 000. But I doubt that. So start saving your pennies.

Re: 2022 Collings Prices?

No. But it will be interesting to see how prices continue to climb. I was doing some figuring recently based on the latest Collings serial numbers that I’ve seen posted by dealers, and it looks like Collings production of acoustics has maybe fallen by 50% over these past two COVID years. That’s just...

Re: Darkening of baked tops

Re: Am I Being Too Picky?

I also had a single-0 TKL case in 2013 on which the lid did not align well. I mentioned it to Collings and they had to tell me to live with it.

Re: DS2h wanted..

I was trying to assist him and suggested that he join this forum. For this heinous crime I have been banned, for a week, apparently other guitar related forums are evil competitors! :lol: Silly, you might be asking for a private sale, but here’s a used one from a dealer: https://acousticvibesmusic....
