They built A models first in 1999, and F models a couple of years later. See serial numbers on Collings website. I’ve owned a number of MTs and MT2s. I like ‘em, prefer MT2s, though, for the red...

I have a Gerald Anderson A5 that is traditionally voiced. You may be able to find one in $2k range.

I think Kimble or Duff A5’s meet that tonal description but you are unlikely to find one at $3000.

I use armrests to keep my arm off the sharp edge of the instrument and believe they alleviated tingling/numbness from the elbow down on my right arm.

Interesting—- I bet I have emailed 10 + times over the years and always got a response. Did you use customerservice@collingsguitars.com?

As mentioned earlier, we sometimes travel in a group, and in this group everyone plays except one guy and he's a really good cook, so we tolerate him!

Last weekend at Grayson Highland SP we made...

We opted for a trailer with an additional outdoor kitchen--my wife is responsible for the nod to Guy Clark on the outdoor kitchen door. MMC--Sam Bush played mandolin on Dublin Blues!

Mark--some of our favorite traveling/camping has been in Texas. Texas has some of the nicest state parks. We really enjoyed the Hill Country, Big Bend, Davis Mountains, Seminole Canyon. We camped...
