Sound Pure's Take
Vintage warmth and feel abound in this single-cut City Limits from Collings! This guitar captures lightning in a bottle by combining a solid mahogany body with a pair of ER-Custom MXV Humbuckers from ThroBak, the resulting tone at once full and powerful with plenty of harmonic complexity to entertain your ears. The flamed maple Brock Burst top is sure to entertain your eyes, too. This guitar’s neck feels like butter in your hands and is an absolute joy to play.
From Collings Guitars
Crafted with the finest seasoned maple and Honduran mahogany, the CL is built for tone. Lightweight, resonant mahogany combined with a carefully hand-set mortise and tenon neck joint bring tonal complexity and sustain to the table in spades. Sleekly contoured for comfort and style, we've brought new life to an American classic.
