We absolutely love this City Limits Custom and think anyone who leans towards vintage looks but likes what modern guitars have to offer will too.
This gorgeous City Limits Custom, loaded with standard Lollar Imperials (vs the more common low-wind Imperials), takes the classic Les Paul model to a much more refined place while still delivering vintage-inspired looks. It can cover so much ground sonically, it really just depends on your style and what you're asking of it.
Both Collings and Jason Lollar have expanded what you can expect from a humbucker, mahogany/maple bodied, short-scale guitar. No muddy neck humbucker tones to be found - just killer vintage bite on the bridge pickup and more neck pickup articulation & clarity are what you can expect from this CL. These guitars have definitely carved out their own feel and voice, but it's clear where its inspiration comes from. A great combo to be sure.

Brand Story
"Every day we try to make a better guitar, every day. You're trying to reach for more, trying to do better, not trying to do the same. A lot of companies are trying to do the same, and that's okay - that's their deal. We're trying to stretch that. Our goal is a little more."
