Each Collings 290 is constructed of solid Honduran mahogany that is acquired, acclimated, and hand selected for density and acoustical response by master luthiers at the Collings shop.

Whether loaded with P90s or humbuckers, Collings pairs their world-class 290 with equally world-class pickups from Lollar, Throbak, or Ron Ellis.

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

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

Collings electrics feature Gotoh tuners, Kluson tune-o-matic bridges & stop tailpieces, or Mojoaxe Wraptail bridges.

Collings crafts their pickguard and peghead materials in house, providing custom aesthetics.
