This Collings City Limits features one of the most striking maple tops we've seen from Collings. Inspired by the early '58 carved top builds, this "plain top" City Limits is anything but plain, with a subtle, lovely looking flame underneath the classic plain top looks. The Lemon Burst harkens back to one of the iconic, vintage-inspired guitars but with the Collings eye for color and detail that really elevates the aesthetics of this guitar.
Featuring the aforementioned flame maple top, over a Honduran mahogany back and sides with a gorgeous custom-ordered red stain, this is a Collings where very deliberate choices were made. Custom spec'd, custom appointments - this is not your "standard model" in any way, shape or form.
Here with Thro Bak PG-102s for that classic PAF sound, with flipped magnets, delivering an out of phase option beloved by players from Peter Green to Kirk Hammett. With this flipped magnet setup, the pickup selector in the middle position and the pickup volumes at 10, this setup creates and out of phase sound, with that signature quack on hand. Roll one of the volumes off just a hair, and the typical middle position dual humbucker sound returns.
An extremely versatile humbucker setup, built into one of the most stunning City Limits we've had in years, makes for an amazing carved-top guitar. Includes a free Mass Street setup from our crew of luthiers and the original Collings hardshell case.
