The Collings Forum

Glad to see you here Ed. Thank you for the wonderful contributions you made through the “old” Collings Forum. It is greatly appreciated.

Sounds great. I loved my CJ and it’s one of the very few guitars I’ve sold that I regret selling. I’m guessing there might be another in my future. Good luck and I look forward to seeing pictures and reading your review.

I wonder whether any of y'all have played one of those 0000-sized Martin 12-fretters. Gruhn's has a bunch of them made out of sinker mahogany that are pleasing to the eye, complete with a lovely slot-head. (I know it's not a Collings, but I love a Martin too.)

That’s really gorgeous! Very tasteful. Congratulations.

I don’t have the fat necks you seem to prefer. Mine both have a 1-3/4 & 2-5/16 conformation. I find they are especially nice for f...

That’s simply the natural variation and is expected IMO. Here’s one on my Collings OM

I see them for $4,455.

That's much more than I paid for mine in 2001.

I just saw this one for $3,825.

I am not even sure what constitutes Collings target market anymore. I feel like there are fewer and fewer people like myself who want to invest in 3+ Collings annually. Truth be told, I don't own 1 Collings right now. I'm getting back in the game soon, but I don't foresee buying 3-5 a year like I u...
