Sound Pure's Take
Weight: 7.15 lbs.
Condition: Used, Great
Crafted with the best vintage examples of semi-hollow tone in mind, the SoCo 16 LC utilizes a specially developed combination of wood laminates for the top, back and sides that are crafted in-house to create a focused and versatile instrument. With a solid maple center-block and slightly larger body dimensions than its other SoCo siblings, the new 16 LC speaks with a full-bodied authority that confidently delivers everything from warm punchy jazz to sparkling airy leads.
From Collings Guitars
Named after the vibrant and eclectic South Congress district of Austin, TX, The SoCo LC combines some of the most well-loved features and sounds from the heritage of semi-hollow guitars with a distinctive look and feel all its own.
