Re: Conflicting Information about Collings Mandolin Neck Joints
While I certainly want to know everything regarding an instrument I'm thinking of buying, not until it has passed the play test. The human brain can trick your ears with preconceptions. You can have a tendency to hear what you want to hear. I am no exception, be it a logo, a scroll, etc. my brain is perfectly delusional.
I had a friend who bought a Collings guitar who was then disappointed when he learned about the neck joint. Beware of marketing propaganda. And really beware all objectivity disappears if you've built the instrument. My BS mandolin is absolutely the best sounding instrument on the planet, no bull. Glued together with the now legendary batch of Titebond delivered to NorCal Home Depots in the fall of 2017, this wondrous batch of adhesive will go down as legendary in the annals of luthiery.
Seriously, those MT2s I've played were wonderful, and I could care less what the neck joint was.
