This City Limits Deluxe takes those cues and brings them forward with a certain elegance and refinement we've come to expect from Collings. Boy oh boy, did they come through in a big way! The Maple top has some beautiful wide flame in the figure, and combined with the aged gold hardware and black plastics, it has some really nice aesthetic dimension.

Outfitted with a pair of Lollar Imperial humbuckers, the City Limits packs some great punch along with an airiness and clarity that's made them go-to PAF style humbuckers for over two decades now. Weighing in under 8.5lbs, it's about as light as you'll find this style of build these days. Collings is so consistent when it comes to guitar weight - we're not shocked in the least that this CL came through weighing within a couple ounces of its fellow CL peers.

This isn't a spec you're sure to come across every day, and we love that about this CL! Its individuality mirrors that of Ronson's old LP, and continues to inspire us to explore more builds with that in mind.
