Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

This incredible guitar is in fantastic shape and one of the most eye-catching Collings we've ever seen! Used Collings electrics are highly sought after and never stick around long. It's not often that huge tone comes in such a comfortable and stylish guitar.

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.
