This Jet Black Collings City Limits delivers some serious sustain and classic vibes from the Texas builder. A custom order here at the shop, this CL is a nod to a particular vintage LP Custom, bringing the relatively unique Staple/P-90 pickup duo into the modern era. This pickup combination works wonderfully with the mahogany cap over the mahogany body, for more midrange and woody crunch than a maple top, but still preserving the top-end clarity thanks to the Staple pickup in the neck. The nickel hardware makes for a more subdued look, putting the focus on the guitar itself, with the ivoroid binding accentuating the Collings solid-body shape.

A fantastic guitar that can do it all from Blues, to '70s rock to even hints of modern Jazz, this City Limits includes the Collings hardshell case and a free setup to your specs from our crew of luthiers.

Our Thoughts

Whether you’re in a tux playing a jazz gig or wearing a leather jacket in front of a wall of British amps, this City Limits is equally at home. And you’ll look cool doing it! The tone is magic through the old 1965 Pro Reverb we currently have in the shop. Fat, rich and clear. I also gave it a run through the Pittman Rockhill 5e3 we just received. Pure Americana Rock dirt with a top end clarity to cut through any mix. God, I love this guitar...
