Sound Pure's Take
This guitar can soothe and it can sizzle
It's got tone as thick as a porterhouse steak (paired beautifully with a Merlot finish)
The neck handles so easily you'll think you were playing a Les Paul
The Lollar low-wind pickup can take you down low into the depths of jazz and soul
Or it can howl fusion at the moon
It's all possible with this one
The tone and volume pots are a part of the instrument
It wants to be what you want it to be
From Collings Guitars

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.
