Sound Pure's Take
Weight: 7.5 Lbs
Condition: Used, Excellent
I knew this guitar was going to sound amazing but I didn't realize how great it would feel to play! For all the tone power you get out of it it's absolutely ridiculous for a guitar to play this fast. No one will be expecting the flurry of notes this one will inspire you to play and you will definitely be the center of attention with the commanding resonance and clarity with this beautiful Collings.

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.
Soapbar P90's
The soapbar p90 has a fat and round bass response with a smoother treble than a traditional p90. This is a hugely versatile pickup with lots of vintage style warmth.
