The Collings Forum

CJ goes back to Bill's day working with Lyle Lovett and others to make it right. I had 3 Collings dreads and now the short scale CJmhA. end of story

Another thought, for guitars that have a lot of play over the years.... where the string ties-off at the ball end, the tie-off can be very rough on some strings and gradually furrow into the ramp. Strings don't like anything that is not smooth. My 2008 CJ had this problem, used a diamond coated need...

+1 Reverb takes care of these situations, I had a somewhat similar situation with a Martin guitar.

Your guitar was shipped in early March, it would have been well past time to change the PB strings. I had read, maybe on the old forum, that Collings had shipped some models with the new D'Ad Nickel Bronze strings, I think maybe?

pjkesq, your d2hsb looks great, love these played-in Collings guitars, my CJ is 2008. the way to have an imgur pic appear in your post is select your pic in imgur... on the right side click copy by the BBCode for forums, then just paste that link into your post where you want it to appear. That's wh...

Imgur (forums) BBCode test........ it works!
