COLLINGS GUITARS SOCO 16 LC

Superior craftsmanship, exceptional tone 

Austin master luthier Bill Collings has been crafting inspired instruments for decades. While the star power of his international clientele (from Mumford & Sons to Keith Urban) is impressive, the quality of his craftsmanship is obvious to anyone the moment you open the case. The SoCo 16 LC draws its inspiration from a bygone era, blending vintage tones and aesthetics with modern design and production. The end result is an instrument with outstanding intonation that stays wonderfully true to its acoustic character, thanks in part to the Lollar Imperial pickups. The SoCo 16 LC offers a snappy sparkle on the top end, contrasted by a warm, but not muddy, bottom.
