Built in very limited numbers, the Collings 16″ archtops are a rarity among modern archtop models in that they are designed to be played as acoustic guitars. Based on the earliest American f-hole archtops of the 1920s, they have a warm and balanced response that has converted many flattop players to the clarity, projection, and immediate response that an archtop instrument can provide.
This Deluxe version features an artfully-executed venetian cutaway, multiple black/white purflings, bound s-holes, and a stylized flared peghead.
