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.

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!
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.
