I've had the chance to play a few Collings models with Adirondack tops and they seemed to deliver pretty much as expected. I expect the vast majority of Adirondack topped Collings owners are pretty content with what they have.

I'll have to ask him the next time I see him.
His friend has a luthier made small jumbo (can't remember the wood combinations) so I'm not sure why he went with a Collings. Maybe he played a few Sitka spruce topped guitars of that manufacturer and thought the Adirondack was going to be an "upgrade", like he was told.
