This model, with it's unique combination of features has intrigued me for quite a while so I took the plunge when a used one at the right price with a finish I liked came along. Smaller offset body. Scale length right in the sweet spot between a Jazzmaster and a Jaguar. Comfortable neck carve. Mastery offset bridge and vibrato system with the "lots of string between them" that provides the ringing overtones that I always liked about Jags and JMs. This one came with the Lollar alnico pole piece P-90s. Supposed to be kind of a cross between a P-90 and a JM pup. Still too new for a proper tonal review. Transparent Warm White finish over ash. Edited to add a better picture of the finish.

Chilly, close (24 7\8" according to the specs). I never had a problem with the 24" scale on the Jags I've owned but this is more comfortable for my old fingers.
Verde, I doubt if this Collings odd duck model will ever be one of the more popular ones. I've missed my Fender offsets but didn't want to go down that path again after having to sell the best Jag and JM I ever owned back in 2020.

Very nice. Collings makes great electrics. Never tried the 360 tho. I am sure it would be great.

I have one in dog hair finish and pearl pick guard. IT is my main guitar. love the tones it has thru the Maz NR II. And as you stated, the Mastery bridge vibrato works great, without messing the tuning. You'll love this one. Nice color too.

One final update now that I've had the 360LT M for a couple of months. It is a wonderful combination of features that feels unique in certain ways and familiar in others. The alnico pole P-90 form factor pickups are definitely in the Jazzmaster camp rather than the P-90 camp and the description on the Lollar site is accurate. This thing gives me the vibe of my now-departed Fender offsets in a more comfortable package.

Awesome guitar! Lollar Pickups are always a home run in my experience!
