Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
SP Luthier Notes: All frets showed evidence of play wear. As such, the frets were leveled, recrowned, and polished back to a near mint state. The guitar required a full adjustment to the truss rod, nut, and bridge to be brought to a perfect level of playability. (A) Minor dent(s) present on the guitar required our luthier to fill, color match, and refinish the area massively improving the cosmetics of the guitar. The instrument was restrung with new strings. No further work was required.
When this Collings arrived with us, it made our whole team swoon! The flamed maple, the ebony tailpiece are all built with Collings's signature high craftsmanship, and this thing also plays as smooth as it possibly could. The Lollar Charlie Christian Pickup is super musical and everything you'd expect out of a jazzier single coil, and to top all of that off it looks too damn good! Don't miss this one!
