Overview

SoCo DeluxeThe SoCo Deluxe is our most premium configuration of the versatile and distinctive SoCo. Featuring ivoroid fingerboard and peghead binding along with our custom ivoroid knobs and pickup rings, this model provides our highest level of aesthetics and hand-carved solid wood construction. A 15" lower bout gives the SoCo Deluxe a lightweight, comfortable balance and imparts an articulate quality to the complex tone that comes from its solid carved top. The ergonomically carved neck heel and long neck tenon ensures that each note can be accessed with ease and will ring with balanced sustain. The SoCo Deluxe stands comfortably among the finest offerings available today for the uncompromising electric guitarist.

Premium Tonewoods

Each Collings Deluxe electric guitar is constructed of all solid woods that are acquired, acclimated, and hand selected for acoustical response by master luthiers here at our shop.

Electronics

Low-wind Lollar Imperials have a slightly brighter tonality than standards, lending them an exceptional definition and touch response that communicates the harmonic content of the instrument beautifully.

Playability

A combination of exacting PLEK machine leveling and hand fret dressing ensures consistently excellent playability and a silky fret feel.

Finish

By meticulously hand-sanding between coats, our nitrocellulose lacquer finishes measure between .005” and .007” in final thickness, maximizing acoustic response while providing excellent protection and aesthetics.

Hardware

Collings Deluxe electrics feature Gotoh SG301 tuners and Kluson tune-o-matic bridges and stop tailpieces.

Deluxe Appointments

Custom ivoroid knobs and pickup rings are handmade in our shop and only available on a Collings Deluxe electric.

Exotic Tops

Deluxe Series electrics can be ordered with quilted maple, mahogany, flamed koa, and other exotic top wood varieties for a look and tone custom tailored to your style.
