Description

A slab mahogany body coupled with killer sounding Throbak P90s in TV Yellow? If you've never checked out this style of guitar, without going vintage, we really feel like this 290 is one of the best you'll find. Chime, midrange snarl, gorgeous cleans or Marshall half-stack ready overdriven tones, these guitars cover a huge range of tones. No doubt, these Throbak P90s sound absolutely incredible.

That old expression that "it's all in the hands"? This style of guitar shows you why that's true - they are tone machines, period. Everything you need, nothing you don't. No fancy tops, ornate bindings, etc...just tone and feel which leaves everything else up to you (i.e., your hands). Like all Collings, the build quality and setup are perfect. 

Don't want to go searching for the perfect vintage Gibson LP Special? Give this 290 a try - you won't be disappointed. Priced with original hardshell case.
