Eastside LC

Overview

Eastside LCWith fully-hollow laminate construction, a single Lollar Charlie Christian pickup, and archtop style tailipiece/bridge, the Eastside LC has been designed with vintage tone in mind for the professional jazz player.

Laminate Construction

Through extensive R&D and critical listening, each Collings laminate electric guitar has been constructed with various woods, grain orientations and densities to have exceptional response and tonality custom suited to each LC model we offer.

Electronics

Built for a big deep tone with round top end and long sustain, the humbucker route single blade Charlie Christian pickup is exceptional for jazz and versatile for many other styles.

Playability

A combination of exacting PLEK machine leveling and hand fret dressing ensures consistently excellent playability and a silky fret feel.

Finish

By meticulously hand-sanding between coats, our nitrocellulose lacquer finishes measure between .005” and .007” in final thickness, maximizing acoustic response while providing excellent protection and aesthetics.

We hand make each our ebony compensated bridges, tailpieces, and pickguards to perfectly match the instrument.
