The 620 SM LC is the fully hollow member of the 620 family, with an outline that recalls 1960s hollow bodies. LC means laminate construction: maple laminate for the body and top, a maple neck, and a trestle block inside. At 1 7/8" it is a quarter inch deeper than the other Collings thinlines, and Collings aims it at an open, expressive sound that still keeps the articulation of a semi-hollow.
The pickups are Righteous Sound Diadems, custom-voiced and, in Collings' words, carrying P90 clarity and presence with extra richness. Choose a Bigsby vibrato or a solid tailpiece; either way the bridge is a pinned ebony base with a tune-o-matic top and nylon saddles. The board is ebony with mother-of-pearl long dots on a 24 7/8" scale, the knobs are Davies Radio, and the peghead is the Flipped Haircut.
For the semi-hollow version with a maple centre block, mahogany body and flamed maple top, look at the 620. Collings' finishes, binding and other options are listed below.
