What we think:

This is the first Collings Electric to arrive at Sound Pure! We are very pleased with how Collings has put their spin on a classic single-cut design! The pearl headstock and pickguard add serious flash with a vintage vibe. The doghair finish is unlike anything we've seen. White grain on black is stunning! And those TV Jones pickups provide some serious honk!

We especailly like the tummy cut and what looks to be a leg cutaway on the back bottom portion of the body. The fretwork is as smooth as can be and that round "C" shaped neck feels solid and is like a slightly rounder 59 LP carve.

Call Sound Pure today and we can talk about how this Collings 290 compares to similar guitars. This could be your new favorite!
