Crafted with the finest seasoned maple and Honduran mahogany, the Collings City Limits is built for tone.  Lightweight, resonant mahogany combined with a carefully hand-set mortise and tenon neck joint bring tonal complexity and sustain to the table in spades.  Sleekly contoured with a swooping heel, elegant cutaway, and back “comfort carves”, we’ve brought new life to an American classic.

CL vs CL Deluxe

While both models share the same body dimensions and electronics, key appointment differences are outlined below.

  • The CL features an ungrained ivoroid-bound body with no binding on the fingerboard or peghead.
  • The CL Deluxe features a grained ivoroid-bound body, fingerboard, and peghead, along with our custom ivoroid top hat knobs, pickup rings, and truss rod cover.

*This model is shown with optional quilted maple top and parallelogram fingerboard inlays.
