Sound Pure's Take
The Collings City Limits Deluxe in Oxblood is a masterfully built single-cut electric that blends vintage authority with Collings’ legendary precision. Its Honduran mahogany body with a premium flamed maple top delivers rich sustain and focused punch, while the custom P90 pickups provide expressive clarity, warm growl, and dynamic touch response. The 60s-style mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard feel smooth and confident, making every note effortless. Finished in stunning gloss nitro with ivoroid appointments and aged hardware, this City Limits Deluxe is a refined, inspiring instrument and a true investment-grade guitar built to be played and treasured for decades.
From Collings Guitars
Crafted with the finest seasoned maple and Honduran mahogany, the Collings City Limits 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 with a swooping heel, elegant cutaway, and back “comfort carves”, we’ve brought new life to an American classic.
The CL Deluxe features a grained ivoroid-bound body, fingerboard, and peghead, along with our custom ivoroid top hat knobs, pickup rings, and truss rod cover.
