Just like the vibrant and eclectic South Congress district of Austin, Texas that inspired its name, the Collings SoCo™ 16 LC brings its distinctive aesthetic and sonic voice to the tradition of classic semi-hollow electric guitars. Crafted with the best vintage examples of semi-hollow tone in mind, the SoCo™ 16 LC utilizes a specially-developed combination of wood laminates for the top, back, and sides that are crafted in-house to create a focused and versatile instrument. Featuring a solid maple center-block and slightly larger body dimensions than its other SoCo™ siblings, the 16 LC speaks with a full-bodied authority that confidently delivers everything from warm punchy jazz to sparkling airy leads.
SoCo™ 16 LC vs SoCo™ 16 LC Deluxe
While both models share the same body dimensions and electronics, key appointment differences are outlined below.
- The SoCo™ 16 LC features ungrained ivoroid binding on the body and fingerboard with no peghead binding.
- The SoCo™ 16 LC Deluxe features a grained ivoroid-bound body, fingerboard, and peghead, along with our custom ivoroid top hat knobs, pickup rings, and truss rod cover.
SoCo™ LC Deluxe vs SoCo™ 16 LC Deluxe
While both models share similar aesthetics, scale length, and electronics, the SoCo™ LC features a 15″ lower bout while the SoCo™ 16 LC features a wider 16″ lower bout for more low end response.
