Collings AT-16 (2007)

Sold

Description

If you're looking at this instrument, you likely know how rare it is. It's always a special treat to play a Collings AT-16 ~ this one is a Bill-Collings-built guitar made for the NAMM show in 2007. It's a textbook AT-16, exhibiting the standard features of the model. And it's been played! In fact, this is far and away the most well-traveled AT-16 we've seen. It's been a gigging guitar since it was built, and carries its share of honest wear. We encourage all interested buyers to contact us for a full in-hand description of the guitar's condition (though the photo gallery tells much of the story). The voice is dry & mature, with the depth, power, openness and midrange clarity of a great vintage guitar. With its original hard case.

On consignment.
