Used, in mint condition. There are no marks anywhere on it, and it is all original, exactly as it left Collings. It weighs 8 lb 3.2 oz and comes in its Collings deluxe hardshell case.
This CL Deluxe wears a custom finish: Trans Denim over a flamed maple top, with a TV White back. The flame reads clearly through the blue, and the white back gives it a sharp contrast.
It carries ThroBak SLE-101 Plus humbuckers in place of the standard Lollar Imperials, wired 50s style through CTS 500K pots and Jupiter Vintage Yellow caps.
Parallelogram inlays run up the rosewood fingerboard and onto the peghead, with grained ivoroid binding on the body, fingerboard and peghead. Custom grained ivoroid top hat knobs and pickup rings round out the Deluxe appointments.
Underneath, it is Honduran mahogany for the body and neck, joined with an extra long mortise and tenon, on a 24 7/8" scale with a 12" radius and a 1 11/16" nut. Built in Austin, Texas.
