If you find one, BRING YOUR CHECKBOOK! Collings archtops, when they do appear for sale, bring big money. Jimmy

Be prepared for a 3-year wait if you are ordering a custom. If you are looking for a standard build your best bet is to find a dealer that has one on order and snag the delivery slot by giving the dealer a deposit. That's your quickest path to a new Collings archtop. A call to Collings can help you locate a dealer with an archtop on order - not many dealers order them.

Based on what the photos looked like, it seems like a heck-a-guitar.
I have wanted to experiment a bit with Jazz style, but have not really ever thought I would do right by it. I certainly was not in the position of throwing down the better part of ten large to find out. Ofr a fraction of that though, I recently bought an Eastman 805CE, which I am finding to be a great guitar for me. Now...is it all that the high end boys are; heck no! And, the fact that it is made in Asia (China I think) even thought hand crafted again will be a deal-breaker for many. But if you are trying to find the middle ground where you have a reasonably well made guitar at a reasonable cost.

archtop purchased
Well, I happily found a beautiful Collings "City Limits Jazz" for sale at Gryphon Strings and bought it. I actually received it today and am very pleased! Gryphon Strings is an excellent company to work with!

Hi Scott,
Congrats on the CLJ! Those are great guitars. I thought I would bring this thread back to point out that there is a used AT-16 for sale over at the Collings forum: http://collingsforum.com/eve/forums/...26/m/816101426 Wish I could swing it!
