Product Overview
This Collings Electric Guitars - 470 JL - Antique Black is an incredible celebration of the craftsmanship of the Collings team combined with the taste, and sophistication of famed guitarist, Julian Lage. Featuring a pair of Ron Ellis Ellisonics pickups, around which this guitar was designed, this trestle-braced semi-hollow body feels like a super-charged instrument with the notes bursting to get out.
Clarity, sparkle, dynamics and some serious resonance thanks to the semi-hollow design, this is one of those guitars that gives you every ounce of your attack, touch and musicality back out in spades. This particular JL has a throaty, full sounding mid-range that really brings a bit of a growl to your tone when needed. The custom 470 neck profile is a C/V shape that feels comfortable and effortless. Includes a free Mass Street setup to your specs from our crew of luthiers and the hardshell case.
