| Just when I thought Bill Collings couldn't
get any better ... well ... you get the idea. This is our very first
SoCo Deluxe and it is, as you can see, absolutely breathtaking!
From its optional Flared Peghead to the bound Brazilian rosewood fingerboard
with upgraded Parallelogram inlays to the Premium Quilted maple cap ...
this is one alluring looking thinline electric!
The SoCo Deluxe, like all of the Collings
Electric guitars, is carved from all solid woods ... no laminates
here. This particular piece was custom ordered for a long-time customer
with the optional fingerboard inlays, upgraded quilted top (normal
is flamed maple) and added purfling pinstripes on the body ... and has
to be one of my all-time favorite electric guitars to ever come through
our store!
It is very hard to describe the feel of this guitar
when you're playing it. At a mere 7.0 pounds overall guitar weight,
it is definitely one of the most resonant and acoustically responsive semi-hollow
guitars ever. The medium elliptical neck profile, perfectly
polished fretwork and the organic way that the neck flows out of the body,
simply makes this instrument a joy to play.
Plug this instrument in and put the custom Jason
Lollar pickups through their paces and you will understand why really fine
semi-acoustic thinline electric guitars have stood the test of time! |
