Sound Pure's Take

This guitar is nothing short of incredible! The pictures barely do the top justice and you won't believe how good it feels to play until it's in your hands. The first word that comes to mind is power - followed closely by elegance. We'll admit that we often get stuck playing this one for way longer than we had planned for. We all love a guitar that inspires us to write new music and makes us forget what time it is or that we're actually at work and should maybe put it down. Whoops! It's really Collings fault for making such an amazing instrument. 

From Collings Guitars

Our versatile 360 offset body shape has lent itself to several different adaptations since it's inception in 2009. In this latest incarnation, we are delighted to be working with our innovative friends at Mastery, makers of cutting edge hardware components for offset-style guitars. We've paired their remarkable offset bridge and vibrato with a solid ash (or alder) body and a maple neck to gain a further tonal foothold in the offset guitar sonic pallet. 
While firmly grounded in the iconic sounds of the offset guitar world, we've integrated a set neck and short scale length into the formula, delivering a resonance and feel that is distinctly Collings. It comes as no surprise to us that our longtime partners-in-tone, Lollar Pickups, offers a pickup that perfectly compliments the response and range of the 360 LT M. Their custom alnico pole piece soapbar P90s provide the husky tone we had envisioned, but with the perfect amount of punch and clarity to enhance its vast stylistic abilities.
