Product information

This 71M is a gently used stunning example of Collings newly refined offset design.

The 71 M pushes Collings's offset design style further than ever with some incredible specs that has made it an instant favorite in our shop.

There's an evolutionary pattern at play here, with the 71 M almost picking up where the 360 left off; but that's not even the half of it. The 71 M is anything but a "Version 2.0" - it's a guitar with a new voice, a new attitude...a new neck carve! It undoubtedly offers a whole new playing experience that will make you rethink everything you think you know about this style of guitar.

The body joins the neck right around the 19th fret - a first for Collings, and an impressive one at that. It allows for incredible upper fret access a la Gibson's SG and doublecut Junior models, while incorporating sturdy set-neck construction wtih a clean, smooth heel transition.

The 71 M also features the first-ever "6-in-line" headstock design from Collings, and in no real surprise, it's fantastic in every way. A simple, clean, but effective shape supports both the classic tuner style and modern truss rod cover with equal balance. If you've ever had the fortune of playing a perfectly worn-in '56-'57 Fender neck before, that this neck will feel familiar. The moderate V shape is unlike any carve on a Collings guitar prior to this one.

A unique pair of Lollar pickups bring a mix of new and familiar tones to the table. The Blademaster in the neck position shares its DNA with the Charlie Christian single coil pickup, while the Jazzmaster P90 brings a fatter, richer tone to the bridge position. Direct-mounted into the acoustically resonant body, they have a liveliness and responsiveness that is addictive!

This gently used 71M remains in very good condition. It has a smattering of very small indents on the top and back, but you really have to till the guitar just-so in the light to see them. Overall, it presents very nicely and it plays like a new instrument.
