The Collings Forum

I have an older D-2H and an SJ. The SJ neck is nothing like a CJ neck. It is a mild C shape. I don’t find it any larger than the modified V. I like them both.

Wow! Thanks for this post and picture. I just moved to my closet and lifted out my 1993 D2H #889 and thought, "These were the guys who built my guitar." Great memory, and I do like the Taylor T-shirt. I think Bill Collings and Bob Taylor have done more than any others in the past thirty years to ...

In addition to a’93 D2H, a ‘03 SJ, and an MT2, I play a Goodall Grand Concert, a Ken Miller Koa 000, a Rockbridge SJ, and like Silly Moustache an Eastman AR 905. Some others as well, but these are my go-to guitars.

Just had a local luthier install new Gotoh Kluson style tuners on my 1993 D2H. They fit perfectly. Get them at StewMac. Jeff

I posted this to the wrong section, so my apologies.

I am not playing my dreadnoughts anymore. I am thinking of selling a 1996 D1A, no tongue brace, through saddle, no inlay, 1 and 23/32 nut, has some dings but great sound, an early Collings. With all the different iterations of guitars these days ...

I am not playing D sized guitars anymore and am thinking of selling a 1996 D1A, no tongue brace, through saddle, 1 and 23/32 nut, excellent shape but with some dings. It also has a stereo set up with K&K and a crown mike. I have no idea what the selling value, given the plethora of new guitars ...

My 1993 D-2H has a slight lifting on the bridge. I can get a piece of paper under part of it. It doesn't seem to change, so I left it alone, Unless it is growing, I would suggest leaving it alone.

Earliest is a 1993 D-2H. I also have a 1996 D1A.

I guess there are signature tonewood combos. For my Collings guitars I prefer sitka with rosewood on my D-2H, adirondack with mahogany on my D1A, and on my SJ i have sitka with maple. I like these combinations.
