Re: When Did Collings Stop Shipping With Custom Cases?
I’m back on the forum after being absent for years. The reason I’m back is that I recently purchased a 2016 D1A at The Music Emporium and have been smitten once again by the Collings aesthetic. The guitar came with one of the vintage cases. The case looks like a wreck on the outside. But it is incredibly fine. I live north of Boston in a three-story Victorian where even Humidipaks have a hard time in winter keeping the RH in cases above 40. I bought the Collings two weeks ago today. That vintage case has maintained 46-47 every day for two weeks. All my other cases have dropped into the high ‘30s. Bill just did things right, period.

Congrats on the D1A!

Re: When Did Collings Stop Shipping With Custom Cases?
It won't have anything to do with serial numbers. The cases only shipped with some Traditional models and I believe it was only 2017 & 2018s before they stopped doing it. Maybe there were some 2019s but I've not seen them.TravH wrote: ↑Tue Nov 14, 2023 4:36 pm Hi, I'm looking at a used 2019 D2HT. It's being sold as "all original" as bought brand new but has a TKL case not a Collings case.
Price is a little steep without the Collings case IMO so curious if it was swapped out. I have the serial number but since not mine yet will refrain from posting here. So if someone knows via serial numbers sequence maybe that would help.
Thanks!
Shalom, Steve
