Product information

The CL Deluxe isn’t just a single-cut - it’s Collings at full strength: elegant, powerful, and impossible to put down.

There’s no shortage of single-cut electrics out there, but few rise to the level of the Collings CL Deluxe. Built with obsessive precision and a level of detail that’s unmistakably Collings, this guitar takes a familiar silhouette and reimagines it.

The neck carve strikes a sweet spot - somewhere between a late-‘50s and early-‘60s feel - that Collings dubs a medium-fat C. Paired with flawless fretwork and a silky finish, it makes every position on the neck feel effortless. The overall feel is balanced, luxurious, and immediately inspiring.

Tonally? It’s the real deal. The Lollar Imperial humbuckers offer rich, open cleans and harmonically complex overdrive. There’s punch and sustain, but never at the expense of nuance. Whether you're after blooming jazz chords or singing rock leads, the CL Deluxe delivers.

Simply put: it’s a masterclass in what a single-cut can be. And once you plug in, you’ll understand why so many players consider this one of the best electrics they've ever laid hands on.

Priced with hardshell case.
