Here are a couple of nice NAMM 2019 videos featuring interviews discussing SCGC guitars with Richard and Carolyn by Heartbreaker Guitars.

Here it is for only $3900. Looks like large sound hole.

Welcome Terry and congratulations on your new guitar. I expect you’ll really enjoy it. If you feel adventurous, post a couple of pictures. We all love eye candy.

It’s a very nice place to meet and talk guitars. Thanks for the hard work putting this together. And thanks to the folks at SCGC for making such magnificent guitars. I hope everyone has a happy holiday season!

I think it’s generally believed that it results from trees growing under stress that cause the grain of the wood to grow back on itself in a wave form. This creates a 3D appearance as light strikes the variable grain angle. It’s common in some wood, maple being an example.

I REALLY like my OM EIR/Euro, but have had a tricky time dialing in my ideal tone. I like the SCGC strings, but find I get a percussive tone on the #3 G string that stands out against the ringing of the other strings that surround it when strumming or flatpicking. It’s not as noticeable playing with bare fingers/nails. Elixirs PB or 80/20 Nanos accentuate the unwanted tone. D’Addario EXP 80/20s are terrific and EXP PBs very good for my taste. I have an easier time finding the right strings for my OMG Cocobolo/Euro. For my awesome OMG, I prefer D’Addario EXP PBs, with SCGC low tension a close 2nd. I still get a hint of percussive tone on the G string, fretted or unfretted, but not terrible – just slightly recognizable.

I should note that I find the SCGC strings produce best tone on all strings except the #3 G string. I have used power tools for woodworking my entire adult life; and for most of my life (especially the earlier years) I did not use ear protection. So I do wonder if I have ear damage in that tonal range that I am accommodating. I have used many other brands of strings on my SCGC guitars, but I have settled on the strings as described above.

Thanks for this information. There was an Unofficial Collings Forum that started recently, but there is no action on that Forum. Seems like you’ve identified the “Old” Collings Forum, redux way th all the “regulars”!
