Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Mint
Whatever your style is, you're going to love the Collings 290DC! The dual P90's offer lush and clear clean tones, while tackling hard driven rock with style. The visual aspects of the guitar have all been carefully selected to tow you into another decade. Personally, we think this guitar sounds best with flatwounds, and while we've loved taking the 290 for a test drive here in the store, but it's time you took the wheel!
SP Luthier Notes: Minor Setup
From Collings Guitars
290® Named for the scenic 290 highway that winds past the Collings shop though the Texas Hill Country, the 290® is a modern day tribute to the original working man's rock'n roll guitar. A solid mahogany body and neck are complimented by two Lollar Soap Bar P90 pickups for a tone that shows off the amazing harmonic range and dynamics of this often underrated configuration.
