Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

When we opened the case on this SoCo Deluxe, all work in the office had to pause. The stunning finish combined with the quilt top and ivoroid dressings had us picking our jaws off the floor. When we plugged it in we were even more hypnotized. The Lollar Imperials deliver a smooth, warm sound sure to pull at the heartstrings of any blues player. For an eye-catching, unique tonal experience, we can't recommend the Collings SoCo Deluxe highly enough!

SP Luthier Notes: Fret Dress, Setup

From Collings Guitars

The SoCo Deluxe is our most premium configuration of the versatile and distinctive SoCo. Featuring ivoroid fingerboard and peghead binding along with our custom ivoroid knobs and pickup rings, this model provides our highest level of aesthetics and hand-carved solid wood construction. A 15" lower bout gives the SoCo Deluxe a lightweight, comfortable balance and

imparts an articulate quality to the complex tone that comes from its solid carved top. The ergonomically carved neck heel and long neck tenon ensures that each note can be accessed with ease and will ring with balanced sustain. The SoCo Deluxe stands comfortably among the finest offerings available today for the uncompromising electric guitarist.
