Aimed at capturing the essence of mid-century catalog guitars but with the refinement for which Collings is known, our fully-hollow Ladybird® brings character in spades.
Its open and throaty tone is a result of design and wood selection, along with the well-matched Righteous Sound Cathedral or Bishop pickups, which were custom made for this model. A 24 1/8″ scale length – the shortest of our electric offerings – also provides a looseness that’s perfectly complemented by a set of D’Addario flat wound .011’s.
Standard finishes of either Satin Teal or Antiqued Jet Black are wrapped in a leopard tortoise binding with matching tortoise inlaid into the pickups. A trapeze tailpiece, rosewood bridge, and Davies Radio knobs complete the package.
*Shown with optional hand-poured pickguard and truss rod set, plus Waverly tuners.
