Collings SoCo LC Sherwood Green (USED, 2017)

$4,200.00

Description

"Every day we try to make a better guitar, every day. You're trying to reach for more, trying to do better, not trying to do the same. A lot of companies are trying to do the same, and that's okay - that's their deal. We're trying to stretch that. Our goal is a little more." - Bill Collings

Think of the Collings SoCo LC as a more comfortable ES-335 style guitar. All the versatility these types of guitars are known for with the added comfort of a single-cut body. It balances perfectly in your lap and the super comfortable C carve with rolled edges ensures you won't be putting it down anytime soon. 

The bridge and neck pickup blend perfectly - no huge leaps in volume or bass when switching from the bridge to the neck pickup. Excellent clarity and punch without being strident or sterile. Anything from snappy and twangy to fat and warm are on tap. Totally up to you and your preferred playing style. 

Condition: Near mint save for a small indentation on the back of the guitar (doesn't break the finish) and some light pick marks on the guard. Setup is excellent. 

We really are living in a golden era for guitars (and pickups, pedals, and amps) and we'd very confidently hold this SoCo LC up as a prime example. Priced with hardshell case.
