The Collings City Limits Deluxe (CL Deluxe) is the Austin, Texas maker's ultra-refined take on the traditional single-cut solid body. Built to flawless tolerances, it pairs a carved maple top on a lightweight Honduran mahogany body with an extra-long mortise-and-tenon neck joint for exceptional sustain, resonance, and upper-fret access.
This specific custom specimen stands out with a striking custom green nitrocellulose lacquer finish and a matching headstock overlay. As a Deluxe model, it features full grained-ivoroid binding across the body, fingerboard, and signature "Haircut" headstock. It is further elevated by mother-of-pearl parallelogram fingerboard inlays, custom in-house machined ivoroid pickup rings, and ivoroid top-hat control knobs.
Equipped with dual Lollar Imperial humbuckers, vintage-style 500K wiring, and an ABR-1 bridge setup, this guitar delivers articulate, woody tonal clarity with rich harmonic depth under gain. Complete with its original Ameritage deluxe hardshell case, it represents the absolute apex of modern boutique electric craftsmanship.
