Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
SP Luthier Notes: Our luthier completed an inspection of this instrument once it landed with us, and the guitar was deemed to all ready be in otherwise ideal playing and cosmetic condition, and no work was required.
From Collings Guitars
Named for the scenic US 290 highway that winds past the Collings shop and through the Texas Hill Country, our 290® is a modern day tribute to the original working man’s rock and roll guitar. A solid mahogany body and neck are complemented by two Lollar Soapbar P90 pickups for a tone that shows off the amazing harmonic range and dynamics of this often underrated configuration.
