AT 17
Overview
AT 17One of the rarest and most labor intensive instruments in our line up, Bill Collings' elaborately appointed 17" archtops represent the pinnacle of Collings craftsmanship. From the voluptuous curves to the seamless intersection of the neck and cutaway, every last detail sings quality. Only a handful of archtops of this size are built each year, so check with your dealer for the current backlog and waiting time.
