The purpose of this video is to demonstrate the acoustic qualities of the Collings City Limits Jazz guitar.
The #1 question i'm asked is how does this guitar sound acoustically.......i hope this video will give people interested in this guitar a better feel for it's acoustic qualities.
The strings on the guitar for this video are D'Addario EJ21 (what Collings shipped the guitar with) 12-52 - bright round wound.
Unfortunately what this video cannot do is allow you to feel the vibrations this guitar produces, it's wonderful playability and the incredible neck carve.
As of the date of this video Collings has built less than 30 of these guitars....this is #17.
Below are the specs from the Collings site. Thanks for taking time to watch & listen to this wonderful model from Collings.

maybe a 59 neck - but not nearly as chunky as a lot of reissue necks i've played. Very comfortable neck - one of my favorite things about the guitar actually - thanks for watching!
How does one of these hollow body electrics feel to play? Is it closer to feeling like a electric to play or is it cumbersome to play like an old school acoustic? I really hate playing acoustic because of how big it is but I like the idea of playing unplugged without an amp. I'm still kinda new.
this guitar feels very comfortable to play and doesn't feel at all like an acoustic guitar. This guitar is a thinline so it is about as think/deep as a LP. All the best with your music,
Thanks. I was thinking about using 10-48 with the G string wound, which is ej20. But perhaps 12 is better. Don't want problems with the neck of t he guitar though.
