  1. Re: Campanella, Red Diamond, Northfield, Collings experience

    I have owned an MT and an MT2, beautifully made but didn't bond with them. Sold them eventually. Bought a Pava in 2014 and really liked it until last year I came across an MT2 (nitro) with Italian...

    Re: Fretboard Fall Away

    Thanks John, I guess the term is drop off. I always add a little when refretting a guitar, but I haven't done a mando yet. I think that I will start a little before the 12th and try about 0.015" to...

    Thanks for finding that!
    I think the closest that I can easily order is StewMac #0155
    Width = .080"
    Crown = .050"
    Tang = .048"

    I pulled a fret on the Phoenix and the tang is just over .040",...

    Collings Tops

    This has probably been discussed many times but I can't remember things as well as I used to. Why does Collings use Engleman for the MT and Red Spruce for the higher trimmed models. Is Engleman...
