The Collings Forum

My answer is that they are just as good if not better!

I have had a number of Collings through the years in order: OM2H, D1, D1A, C10, 0001ACut, and OM2HT.

The stock OM2H, my first Collings, was a 2004, and it was my “it” guitar for a number of years. But then I headed for the dreads, sold that ...

Good luck with your quest. Those are amazing my favorites!

They are hard to find! But they are out there. And it’s entirely possible that they will again be built. Keep your fingers crossed!!!

Frank has done so much for this wonderful site. Wishing him a Great 2026!!!

With Waterloo guitars again being built (albeit, in limited numbers), I hope and expect the line’s mandolins will soon return!!!

It will be a welcome addition to the mandolin world!!!

And thank you Frank for all you do for this, the best music site in the universe!!!
