This is one of the prettiest Collings we've ever seen. It has a gloss Black face with Pearloid pickguard and headplate and the back of the body and neck are speckled Black with white streaks for a very cool Deco look. This one has a very '50s feel to it. But the best thing about this guitar is the voice, it's huge, very loud and open sounding. If you've been looking for a unique and special Collings and one that stands out tonally, this is for you!

Player Reviews:
"This is a boisterous little beast, very loud and strong with more bass than most C-10s I've played. It goes without saying that this one is gorgeous and very cool. It's unique Collings for sure, but it's the tone that really rocks on this one." - Paul Heumiller
"I like this little guitar. It has some serious vintage vibe to it and it really sounds and plays great. Steve James plays one that is very similar." - Al Petteway
