Unless Steve Collins builds D1As, D2Hs, CJs, and the like out of Austin, TX, I am fairly certain that the G droppers are referring to CollinGs.

One of my grammatical pet peeves is when people who substitute “that” for “who”.

Hey, yo . . . . .OP! I'm from New Yawk, awright? We don't always pronounce Gs at da enda words, ya understan?

Besides, I don't play a Collings so I have little need to write the word. If I could afford one I'd get a Martin instead and buy my kids something with the balance.

And all that being said, you still included the G.

My Tayler came with Elixer strings that played like buttah, I tried John Pearce and D'adderios phosfer bronze but my luther said, "Your chasing your tale" so I sold it.

Or people who say: “I could care less “ when they mean “I couldn’t care less.”

Is Bill Collings related to Judy?

[Blueser100]

It’s probably because “Collin” is a proper noun common in the US whereas “Colling” is not. So adding an “s” to “Collin” seems to make sense. That’s my theory anyway.
