Description: Up for sale, a 2017 Collings City Limits Aged in showroom-clean, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case, paperwork and case candy. Collings guitars are handcrafted in Austin, TX, with premium components and hand-selected tonewoods. A unique factory aged example, this Collings features lacquer checking on the gloss Lemon Burst nitro lacquer finish, a premium curly flame maple top, seasoned Honduran mahogany body and neck, bound East Indian rosewood fretboard, and a pair of ThroBak ER-Custom MXV PAF-style humbuckers. Collings crafts many of the finest USA-made boutique guitars available today, with an eye towards history and exacting standards for tone and modern playability. All woods are acclimated and hand-selected for density and acoustic response, and the guitar is extremely lively and resonant with ergonomic contouring at both sides of the waist, and a neck joint that's angled toward the cutaway, following the body lines. This Collings is loaded with the original pair of ThroBak ER-Custom MXV PAF-style humbuckers; ThroBak spares no expense with the accuracy of their reproduction pickups, going so far as to wind these pickups on the same vintage model of Leesona 102 coil winder that was utilized for the original PAFs. Built around Alnico V magnets, the ER-Customs were designed as a nod to (and alongside) legendary Austin-based luthier and repairman Ed Reynolds. These Throbaks capture the best qualities of their iconic inspiration, delivering a particularly full-sounding PAF tonal profile that is punchy and mid-dominant with sweet, singing trebles. Weighing 8lbs 3oz, this Collings has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and spot-on intonation.
