Collings City Limits - USA 2010

From Collings:  

“Crafted with the finest seasoned maple and Honduran mahogany, the Collings City Limits is built for tone. Lightweight, resonant mahogany combined with a carefully hand-set mortise and tenon neck joint bring tonal complexity and sustain to the table in spades. Sleekly contoured for comfort and style, we've brought new life to an American classic.” 

The presentation of this guitar is excellent. The eye catching Iced Tea finish shows off the flame maple top beautifully. Nickel and chrome adornments pair well with the amber control knobs, cream neck binding and pickup rings. The guitar is set up ready to play with 0.25mm action at the first fret and a comfortable 1.75mm action at the 12th fret. The fine, even grains of the East Indian Rosewood Fretboard give a classic Gibson feel to this sophisticated instrument. There are some scuffs and small marks on the body and a hint of buckle rash on the back, but the neck is clean and smooth and the instrument is in remarkable condition for its age.

Combining the best of the iconic guitars that have come before, this guitar has a perfect simplicity that will light a clear path to your creativity as a guitarist. Warm and harmonically rich with maple, rosewood and mahogany tonewoods, this guitar’s sound is enhanced by two warm and clear sounding Lollar Imperial Humbuckers installed aftermarket - a lovely upgrade! This guitar begs to be played, as guitars this good only get better with age.

Comes in its original hardshell case in excellent condition.
