No longer offered by Collings and Waterloo, here is a rare and brand new lefty Waterloo WL-M mandolin. Great sounding mandolin. If you missed out on ordering one, here's your chance. I'll let Collings describe it: With origins dating back to the turn of the 20th century, flat-backed mandolins have long been a mainstay of [...]
Here's a dead mint 2022 Collings CJ-45 Traditional that I sold new a few months ago ... terrific guitar, and a chance to save some bucks over a new one. The owner opted to order a smaller C10 so this is available. Original hardshell case. Read on ... Collings' latest offering is a Traditional update [...]
I have a particular love for maple bodied guitars; there is something about the clear treble and punch that is perfect for my style. This Collings SJ (small jumbo) has plenty of power, bass and volume with a great midrange that makes it ideal for strumming or finger picking, and it sounds great with a [...]
*** ON HOLD *** Here's Colling’s venerable 290 with the classic vintage TV yellow finish with tortoise pickguard and truss rod cover. This is a dual cutaway example with two Lollar P-90s and MojoAxe wraparound tailpiece. Collings calls this guitar a modern-day tribute to the original workingman’s rock ‘n roll guitar. You’ll just call it a great guitar. Solid [...]
Here's a gently used 2019 Collings I-30 LC in their handsome walnut stain. Wonderful guitars, light as feathers, with true hollow construction and trestle bracing. C shape neck profile. Same size as the venerable I-35 -- slightly smaller and more comfortable than an ES-335. They just don’t get any better. With deluxe Ameritage hardshell case. [...]
Here is a brand new Collings 470 JL Julian Lage signature model, in a lightly aged antiqued blonde finish. The guitar is a true hollowbody with trestle block construction, with a thin nitrocellulose lacquer hand-rubbed to a gently worn patina (no dings or dents). Pickups are Ron Ellis Ellisonic, and a Bigsby vibrato completes the [...]
Here is a new left-handed Waterloo by Collings WL-12 mahogany. There’s nothing quite like the sound of an all mahogany guitar. With its warm yet crisp tone and even note articulation, mahogany has been a go-to tone wood for country, blues and folk guitarists throughout the last century. The WL-12 Mahogany harkens back to the “Dust [...]
If there’s a better couch guitar than a Collings single 0, I haven’t come across it. With Collings’ typical terrific projection and great volume, this guitar will amaze you with its voice. Beautiful build, a gorgeous sunburst, short scale, customized with a 1 3/4 nut, pre-war scalloped bracing, a modified V neck, ebony fretboard and [...]
Guitars don’t come much cooler than this one … Colling’s venerable 290 with their distinctive doghair finish with pearloid pickguard and headstock overlay. You know how some guitars just have it? This one’s got it. Collings calls this guitar a modern-day tribute to the original workingman’s rock ‘n roll guitar. You’ll just call it a [...]
Here is a rare and beautiful Collings 2018 Eastside Jazz LC in a gorgeous iced tea burst with a Lollar Charlie Christian style pickup. This guitar was completely refinished by Collings this year due to some slight delamination on the finish on the binding, so it is in immaculate condition. Lovely guitar. With original hardshell [...]
