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 [...]
Here's a 2011 Collings 360 carved top offset with a gorgeous quilted maple top. The guitar is in excellent condition aside from a couple of chips on the edges of the top and light playwear you would expect on a 12 year old instrument. Great tone from the Lollar mini humbuckers, and some very nice [...]
This barely played lefty Collings Statesman LC was inspired by the classic sounds pioneered by players such as Chet Atkins and Eddie Cochran. The fully-hollow Statesman LC captures the vibe and tones of this iconic era with a trestle-braced maple laminate body, Bigsby B3 vibrato and TV Jones Filtertron pickups. Finished in a walnut stain.

Here is a very rare left-handed Collings 12-string single 02H ... what a brilliant idea Bill Collings had to make a 12-string version of one of the most comfortable couch guitars on the planet.

Here's a gorgeous 2018 Collings CL with a great ribbon flame maple top, and customized with ThroBak MXV pickups. The guitar is in excellent condition, with a couple of minor dings and light play wear. The ThroBaks are off the charts, typically I spec those now when I do a new Collings build. Collings sez: [...]
If I had to choose one acoustic guitar, it would be a 14-fret 00 ... plenty of volume and low end, but small enough to be comfortable on the couch and on the stage. Here is a beautiful example of Collings' take on it. Terrific build with Collings' Traditional package, including an ultra thin nitro [...]
Collings latest take on the venerable I-35 is the I-35 LC Vintage. I’ve been lucky enough to play some very fine electric guitars, but in my mind there isn’t a finer semi-hollow guitar out there than the Collings I-35. And now they've made it even better: Collings sez: "After several years in development and numerous [...]
