Six and a half years of Collings.net
Re: Six and a half years of Collings.net
It would be a shame to see the forum dissolved. Though I do understand the time and financial responsibilities. I hope you can hang in there.

Indeed. It’s still the best music site around.

Re: Six and a half years of Collings.net
Hi folks.
Regarding this forum. I own three Collings Dreads, an 0002h and an 002h , oh, and a Waterloo WL12, so I am guilty like of not patronisngtis frum as much as maybe I should.
For that - my apologies.
I suspect that many fora have now gone to Facebook, but why Zuckerberg should get the traffic I dunno.
So, I applaud and thank the folks who have gone to the trouble of creating this forum, and I will gladly contrtibutermore - if yu wish, although be warned some of my questions might be daft ...like this one ::::
My most recent purchase is my 1998/9 002h.
It was received in 2023 and cosmetically it is fine, although the finish is not as "perfect" as my later Collings.
Now in '24 I sufferedca sudden and profound hearing loss which means I ow have powerful Hearing aides in both ears -albeit very different from ear to ear.
My002h looks and plays fine, but I can't "hear it" as well as I can hear my Eastman E40-00 and I really wonder whether if Collings guitar tonality has changed or improved between 1998/9 and, say 2003 ?
Thoughts folks ?

Re: Six and a half years of Collings.net
I have let this post sit for a little over a week but alas no replies.
It is too little too late I think for this forum. This dinosaur that used to be the life of Collings is now just fossil remains of what once was.
Facebook is the place to be to discuss Collings and post videos of your playing. There is no way to see the entirety of the FB archival content at a glance but it seems to be what works best for people. They make thousands a month from it no doubt but it is the way that things have gone.
We should be happy that there is a place for such spirited playing and discussions. I encourage people to use that site for interactions.
I have funded the forum for another year and will evaluate again next year. For now, we are still here. No regrets.
