it is definitely a personal preference...and my personal preference is that collings do not work for me...not tone, not playability, not feel, etc etc...
the word i would use is exactly the same 'stiff' ....hard to get any kind of tone out of the guitar....zero overtone....apparently these are desireable traits for many...as collings are very very popular...I don't doubt they are great guitars, just definitely not for me...
I'll take a Huss/Dalton Dread or even a Martin any day of the week over a comparable collings.
