Well, here my friends, is THE first real thread on the Collings Forum. What an excellent thing. Now, I truly am smiling. Elambo and Frank, you two should be incredibly proud of yourselves. Because we sure are proud of you two.

Thank for all the nice comments. I can't wait to get it and then figure out how to post photos of it here. Tried to post a photo of my D2HSB, but the file was rejected as being too large.

I just received a OM SS I had build with Tasmanian Blackwood back and sides. Spectacular instrument. You’ll be please and it’s worth the wait. Congratulations!

Wow congrats. Tasmanian Blackwood! would love to see photos and a video clip. Yes, the wait is long, but I know it will be worth it. I love my D2HSB and Waterloo JK to death!
