The Collins GTS electric guitar features a matched, 2 piece, chambered Honduras mahogany body and a hand carved top combined with a carefully hand-set mortise and tenon neck joint - all bringing superior tone and sustain. Hand-crafted with the finest cocobolo, quilted maple or English walnut the GTS is built for tone and playability.
The GTS has two pickups - the bridge can be split off the tone push-push pot and the neck can be split off the volume push-push pot. A Jensen Capacitor is utilized for superb tone control. A 5-way rotary switch is standard gives 13 different tones all combined including out of phase & outer coils. The GTS includes inlayed mother of pearl dots and choice of Bare Knuckle, Stormy Monday, Mule, or Black Dog pickups.
"The craftsmanship is up there with the best I've seen. Worth a mention is the incredible maple wave inlay that goes the length of the 12" radius Indian rosewood fretboard and joins the headstock to carry on. This is just flawlessly done and very tasteful in my opinion. The whole thing oozes quality & plays and sounds as good as it looks." - Michael Casswell, iGuitar Magazine
