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.
