Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Very Good
Guitar is in overall great shape with the exception of some discoloration on the back, pictures in gallery.
This is the ultimate “Jr” style guitar for the player who wants a no-nonsense rock n’ roll axe! Add in the Collings expertise and craftsmanship into the fold, and this one takes you into a whole new world of tone from a single pickup axe! The dog ear P90 from Lollar is an incredible match to this guitar, offering plenty of bark and chime to really push the guitar’s tone over the edge.
If you’re looking for a guitar that’ll play effortlessly while being a rock n’ roll machine, you’ll love this 290 DC. It feels amazing! Whether you're playing blistering leads, slamming power chords or coaxing sweet blues melodies out of this guitar it plays like a dream and sounds even better.

Equipped with one hand-wound Dog Ear P90 pickup from Jason Lollar, the 290 DC S is a modern day tribute to the original working man's rock'n roll guitar.
