Sound Pure's Take
It's finally here! We've all been anxiously awaiting this guitar since ordering it. The ultra precise but immediately warm and organic response of Collings' Eastside Jazz LC model has always wowed us but we were hoping for even more old school warmth and mojo with that Charlie Christian style pickup in there--success! As usual, the fit and finish is absolutely bulletproof. The compact, lightweight design sits extremely comfortably in the lap and the neck just invites you to keep playing. Amplified, you'll have a hard time choosing between the beefy, smokey neck, warm, articulate middle, and hot, bristling bridge positions. One in a million!
From Collings Guitars
New for 2015, the Eastside Jazz LC is a sleekly contoured archtop guitar that bridges the gap between our popular Eastside LC and CL Jazz models. With a fully hollow 15" laminate body and a Charlie Christian-style pickup by Jason Lollar*, the Eastside LC brings highly refined and balanced jazz tone to the table in a comfortable and ergonomic size.
