Sound Pure's Take
Weight: 7.4 lbs.
Less is more.
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.
Don’t let this one pass you by; serial #11081 is one of the most inspiring juniors we’ve ever seen!
