Crafted with the finest seasoned maple and Honduran mahogany, the Collings City Limits is built for tone. Lightweight, resonant mahogany combined with a carefully hand-set mortise and tenon neck joint bring tonal complexity and sustain to the table in spades. Sleekly contoured with a swooping heel, elegant cutaway, and back “comfort carves”, we’ve brought new life to an American classic.
This model was custom ordered with a classic "black beauty" Custom style guitar with full body binding including back binding. No city limits body contours on this one. In Classic style, this one aslo has an ebony fingerboard with Parralelogram inlays. It also features Collings Aged hardware and finish package.
