Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
SP Luthier Notes: The guitar required a full adjustment to the truss rod, nut, and bridge to be brought to a perfect level of playability. A majority of frets showed evidence of play wear. As such, the frets were leveled, recrowned, and polished back to a near mint state. (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. No further work was required.
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. The 15″ lower bout provides comfort and balance with exceptional note articulation. The single cutaway body design makes for greater mass and contact in the neck joint, providing solid low-end response and a resonance you can feel throughout the instrument. The SoCo™ LC features ungrained ivoroid binding on the body and fingerboard with no peghead binding.
