Collings 01
Re: Collings 01
Since you paid $3,000 for this cracked one, you might be interested in this mint 01 for a similar asking price. There’s a very nice Collings 01 Walnut E (2015) at the Music Emporium for $3,200

Eric It was another '37. This one is his road warrior and has been everywhere with him. He did recover the stolen one, with the help of social media / media....etc

Re: Collings 01
Thanks for all the feedback. I actually took it to another luthier in which he found that the crack did not go through the top and is just a surface/finish crack. He's recommending only a touch up on the finish which gives me a whole lot more confidence about this guitar. Im thinking its a keeper but at the same time I'm thinking about how it compares with a 01T. Hah!

Did the repair include finish touching up as well?12Frets wrote: ↑Fri Jul 12, 2019 7:41 pm I've got a 000-1A that has the same crack. It was a humidity thing. I went out of town for work and we had a deep cold snap; the heater dried out the air so much that the crack developed virtually overnight.
I had it repaired with cleats by John Allison in Austin. The crack occurred 8-10 years ago, and it's been completely stable since then, but it's still very visible. I play the guitar daily and it's never affected the tone so far as I can tell, and I personally think it's an outstanding guitar. It's definitely a player's guitar and not a collectors guitar though. If I ever sell it, I'm expect to take a haircut because of the crack. I'd be happy to post a picture later if you're interested.
