A distinctive Collings Mermaid Blue finish for a distinctive electric - this 620 blends semi-hollow with carved archtop designs for a unique sonic experience

While it shares its silhouette with the fully hollow, deeper bodied alternate bearing the SM LC suffix, the "standard" 620 pulls inspiration from the I-35LC Vintage model.

It is decidedly more vintage-leaning in its feel and response that gives it a distinct flavor from that of its contemporaries. Still, every hallmark of Collings' legendary craftsmanship is here: impeccable build quality, meticulous detail, and effortless playability. They're also quite lightweight!

Loaded with a set of Throbak SLE101+ humbuckers gives this 620 a voice like no other, with a fat, authoritative tone reminiscent of some of our favorite early 60s set-neck electrics. They really come alive with some gain, which has this 620 easily copping a bit of an LP voice with a rich and quick attack. Yet the semi-hollow carved wood construction yields a more harmonically rich complexity to its acoustic voice.

It's easy to draw comparisons to some of our favorite vintage electrics, but there's no doubt that the 620 has a sound all its own. The Collings DNA is inarguable - the fit, finish, and feel are unparalleled, all without feeling stiff or over-engineered. A hard line to balance, but the Austin, TX builders do it oh-so-well.

We're blown away by this new model, and feel like it'll represent Collings in the brightest of lights for years to come.
