Designed for power, projection, and nuanced detail, this long-scale Collings 13-fret beauty blends traditional craftsmanship with bold appointments. The combination of a Sitka spruce top and Honduran mahogany back and sides yields warmth, depth, and dynamic clarity, all elevated by a striking 27.5" scale. A modified V neck, ebony fingerboard with long MOP dot inlays, and hand-fit mortise & tenon joint offer both comfort and tonal authority. Finished in high-gloss nitro and dressed in tortoise accents, it’s a commanding instrument built for players who demand both presence and precision.
Very good condition. Crack under the low e strings on the top, some light scratching throughout, and a chip on the headstock.
