Collings is always known for their dedication to a finely crafted instrument. Continually performing above and beyond expectations, their perspective is rooted in Bill Collings' vision for such fine instruments. This AT-16 is a wonderful archtop built in limited numbers, and much more sparse than other Collings instruments. This model is based on the incredible archtops players have loved for generations, yet with a modern build quality and attention to detail that can rival some flat tops sonically. This guitar is remarkable and in excellent condition.
From Collings "Built in very limited numbers, the Collings 16" archtops are a rarity among modern archtop models in that they are designed to be played as acoustic guitars. Based on the earliest American f-hole archtops of the 1920s, they have a warm and balanced response that has converted many flattop players to the clarity, projection, and immediate response that an archtop instrument can provide. The simple appointments of this sleek guitar, highlighted by the gracefully shaded finish, prove that less can indeed be more."
