2016 Collings City Limits with ThroBaks & Parallelogram Inlays, Iced Tea Sunburst
Offered is this superb 2016 Collings City Limits with ThroBak pickups and built in 2016. The City Limits is course Collings' version of the venerable Les Paul, but with a build quality, playability and tone that many players feel are far better than the original.
This guitar has a solid Honduran Mahogany body and neck with a lovely flamed Maple top. The 24-7/8" scale length Honduran Mohagany neck has a medium/fat C shape similar to what you would find on a '59 LP (.865" - .975"). It has a Rosewood fretboard with a 12" radius, 1-11/16" bone nut, upgraded parallelogram inlays and medium frets. For electronics, this guitar has upgraded ThroBak humbuckers with 50's style wiring with DiMarzio 500K pots and Jupiter caps. It is finished in high gloss Iced Tea Sunburst nitrocellulous lacquer and has a total weight of just 8.3 pounds (8 pounds, 5 ounces).
This guitar plays with incredible ease and sounds fabulous - much like an LP only better! Few LP's can match the performance and playability of this guitar, particularly at this price point. The upgraded ThroBak pickups are just icing on the cake; just check out the brief sound sample provided. This guitar has killer tone, clean or driven!
Upon extremely close inspection this guitar shows minor just evidence of play as shown in the included photos; a few tiny impressions, wear on the pickguard and back plate and a bit of oxidation on the hardware. Nothing serious and you will really have to look for these minor flaws. The frets show little to no wear and the back of the neck is spotless. It comes in it's original Ameritage case, in excellent condition, along with the original paperwork.
A new City Limits will cost you with the upgraded ThroBak pickups and the fingerboard inlays now goes for $5,900. Get this very nice 2016 example for a quite a bit less. If you need and/or want an LP style guitar of the highest quality at a great price, this CL will fill the bill, and then some! Make it yours!
