Video Review-Collings 360 Solidbody Guitar

http://www.premierguitar.com PG's Pat Smith reviews the Collings 360 (named for a Texas highway) solidbody guitar, which he gave a Premier Guitar Premier Gear Award in the July '09 issue. Pat shows off the 360's gorgeous vintage Tobacco Sunburst nitrocellulose lacquer finish and simplistic dot inlays. The curly maple carved top sits on a one-piece mahogany body with a 24-7/8" scale neck that features an Indian rosewood fingerboard. Also, this model came with mini-humbuckers featuring '50s wiring. In addition to covering the 360's specs, Pat walks us through various tones the Collings 360 can produce.

@alswin77 So they are copies done nicely.

They're crazy money. not that I haven't spent more than that guitar several times, but for what it is, crazy money.

I'd be inclined to find a decent vintage guitar and a luthier who could make it "right", you'd be in the same place when you were done and you wouldn't have a copy.

Aside from the hobbyist guys making guitars by hand, and a few older fellows doing the same thing, guitar making is pretty much dead. CNC robot stuff.

Collings is doing the nicest stuff available today.

Gibson had better be studying them intently.

If it was a copy it would be made like crap LOL!

You would not call any collings a copy if you had a chance to play one. These guitars are really nice I own a couple. Much better than the guitars they are inspired by. I've owned both so I know what I speak of.
