A Fiesta Red Fiend of a Guitar, in the form of a new model from Collings! Featuring Series/Parallel Switching!
$5,425.00
This Collings 71 electric guitar is a truly unmistakable instrument, offering a bold and grounded sonic experience for serious musicians. Crafted with a solid ash body and a hard maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard, it delivers assertive clarity and responsiveness. Lollar T-Style pickups and Jupiter Vintage Yellow capacitors provide a full, versatile voice, further enhanced by a unique series/parallel wiring option for a humbucker-like boost! Its Rutters bridge and Kluson Supreme tuners ensure rock-solid tuning stability and even resonance across the fretboard. This isn't just a guitar; it's a sound investment, meticulously designed to be supremely playable and an absolutely rock-solid instrument that will inspire for years to come!
Bold, Grounded, Unmistakable. The Collings 71 channels our dedication to detail and craftsmanship into a guitar that feels both familiar and entirely its own. With its set-neck construction, a Collings-stamped Rutters bridge with brass saddles, and a T-style pickup arrangement, the 71 delivers assertive sonic clarity and responsiveness.
The headstock design creates the ideal break angle without any need for a string guide, ensuring rock-solid tuning stability and even resonance across the fretboard. The 25 ½” scale and 10” fretboard radius offer a refreshing evolution in our electric lineup.
A pair of Lollar T-Style pickups produce a full voice in all three switch positions, with Davies Radio knobs, 250k pots, and Jupiter Vintage Yellow capacitors delivering the volume and tone. Adding to its versatility, a pull of the tone knob sends the pickups into series for a humbucker-like boost.

Bill Collings has been inspiring generations of guitarists with his fine guitars and mandolins since the 1970s. After dropping out of medical school to pursue his interest in guitar building, he moved to Austin, Texas where he and his company, Collings Guitars, operate to this day. From his humble beginnings as a one-man operation in a two-bedroom apartment to his current 22,000 square-foot facility and approximately 70 employees, Collings has built a reputation for producing high quality instruments with care and precision.
Perhaps best known for flat-top acoustic guitars, Collings excels in a variety of classic-inspired designs and modern build concepts. Their D series guitars represent their take on the iconic 14-fret square-shouldered dreadnought and include the highly-favored D1 and D2H models with mahogany and rosewood back and sides respectively. These guitars are extremely well-balanced and have a strong reputation for reliability and consistently becoming stronger as the woods open up over time. The CW models in this series feature Adirondack tops, larger sound holes, and other specs especially coveted by bluegrass flat pickers for their volume and responsiveness. The Collings OM series guitars tend to be lively, balanced, and lyrical. These guitars are hugely popular amongst fingerstyle players for their dynamic sensitivity, size, and playability. One of the most versatile acoustic guitar designs, Collings OMs can also handle heavy strumming and flat picking easily when the player needs to dig in. The CJ is a fantastic slope-shouldered dreadnought, and the SJ is their incredible small jumbo design. Collings also makes astounding parlor-style 0, 00, 000, and Baby guitars, which are perfect for performance or travel and offered with the same variety of options as the larger lines for true customization of tone and appearance. Rounding out Collings’ acoustic lines is the C10, which is modeled after a parlor guitar but with a design concept that makes it a favorite of electric players.
Collings is ahead of the pack in the acoustic guitar game, but it certainly does not end there. Their electric guitars are highly regarded amongst players across the entire spectrum of musical traditions. Designed and built with the same knowledge and attention to detail as the flat-tops, Collings electrics are quickly gaining recognition as contending with the best of the best of electric guitars. Hard rockers and country pickers and everyone in between can find a Collings electric to fit their style, from the Les Paul-inspired shapes of the 290, 360, and CL series to the semi-hollow I-35s and SoCo Deluxe models. Collings also offers A and T-style mandolins, as well as concert and tenor ukuleles.
Every Collings instrument has been built with the same standard of craftsmanship and quality that any discerning musician deserves to experience in the tools they select for their musical journey. At Sound Pure, we believe that the tools you equip yourself with can either enhance or hinder you on your journey, so we make it our job to research and choose what we find to be the very best instruments for our clients. We are confident that any Collings guitar that leaves the shop will meet their standards, as well as ours. If you find that we do not currently have the exact specs you need we are happy to make custom orders for our customers to build their own dream guitar.
