Sound Pure's Take

What a beast!  With 22 frets, a screamin' ThroBak in the bridge, and this stunning finish (too good!), you're more than ready to rock with this thing--you simply have no other option!

From Collings Guitars

Sometimes simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. Featuring a single ThroBak SLE101 Plus pickup, the 290 DC S® offers unhindered access to all 22 frets and a wide range of tonal possibilities. Subtle manipulations of the volume and tone controls offer pristine clean tones to deep, warm jazz sounds

and everything in between. There are few bases the 290 DC S® cannot cover. To further the guitar's vintage-inspired tone and aesthetic, we've made available our own custom wraparound tailpiece (optional) that's been designed to deliver unsurpassed dynamic range and improved intonation up the neck.
