Don't want to go searching for the perfect vintage Gibson LP Special to mod? This is your guitar.

Why We Love This

Born out of the idea of having an old mid/late 50s Gibson LP Special modded for humbuckers, this gently pre-owned 290 aims at capturing that slab Mahogany body tone with the bigger, clearer, and sweeter tones of Throbak humbuckers (ER-MXV's).

We love the LP Special-meets-Collings City Limits vibe of this guitar. There's a purity to the design that lets you get down to playing, no muss, no fuss. The lack of a maple top adds an awesome, punchy low-mid warmth, though this guitar has plenty of top-end sparkle to keep things from ever getting muddy. Resonant, lively, and a hell of a lot of fun played clean or overdriven, with Collings' legendary build quality and attention to detail. What's not to love?
