Inside Collings Mandolins

[@spitfirekid1]

Bill gave me a tour of the shop once. He had a great sense of humor and was very humble. RIP Bill. Congrats Collings Crew for continuing his vision.

I just bought my first Collings a few weeks ago. I can't thank you enough. It is a piece of art.

[@cherrylindsey8417]

Okay

[@jayjuliecooper8882]

That`s awesome man. I love mine too, they're great!

[@donwendorf2401]

I got a Collings MANDOLA last year and it put out a gorgeous sound right from the start, that has only gotten better with play. It is also stunning visually with beautiful wood and finish. I could not be more pleased with this instrument.

Really beautiful instruments, guys! Awesome!

Man, I wish I could have apprenticed at that little Collings shop in 1995 as a teen after I was given a tour by Bill. I believe Spielberg's guitar was on the stand being made at that time? My mentor, the late, great Sarah Elizabeth Campbell had a sweet little red "Ruby" made by y'all. Hoping someday I can sell a few guitars and get at least a Collings mandolin. Keep up the beautiful workmanship!

I play a "The Loar LM-700-VS" I was playing in a Bluegrass Festival last week with a guy who has a Collings A style mandolin and it had a wonderful sound to it. I can't afford one but they have a good sound

[@mandoswinger]

I wish I could own a Collings. Love the way they sound and look. Would make a great solo instrument but not in the cards for me. Have to be happy with my Gibson A9.

[@jayjuliecooper8882]

Bill Collings, may God rest his soul. I have a 2003 MT2 that I cherish and adore; it sounds so good.

[@pk509]

Stunning instruments. Wow.

[@MikeontheMandolin]

Thanks!

Can't believe I've been to Austin and haven't visited Collings Guitars.

[@CollingsGuitars]

Let us know the next time you are in town. We'd love to have you out if we can!

[@marvinburrows5474]

My son has a Gibson F-5 G Deluxe (wide neck) that he has literally worn out. Gibson regretted it once, and he'll always keep it, but we're shopping for a new one. REALLY considering a Collings. They do sound good!

[@levijones3005]

did you mean regret that Gibson?

[@j_freed]

+Levi Jones - Gibson likely refretted it. Damn spell-correct, or a typo. It's a GOOD life for an instrument to wear completely out… it should sing and sing, not lay in a case or be in a display collection.

[@PheelTheJoy]

Wonderful looking instruments. I'm in the market for a nice American made mandolins. I will take a look at your line!

[@paulwilberforce9659]
