Stunning Colliings 470JL in excellent overall condition, has small mark in the lacquer on the side that needs a bit of looking for ,apart from that it's really clean. Comes with case, warranty card and polish cloth.

Currently fitted with a custom made Tru-Arc low rider Stainless Steel Rocking Bar Bridge that gives the guitar a more agressive and snappy tone. The original nylon saddle tune-o-matic is in the case

These are stunning guitars and they'll handle pretty much any genre of music from Jazz to Rock, the neck pickup is really sweet and open and the bridge is bright and full, plenty of snap and it sounds great driven as well as clean

470 JLT The success of the Collings OM1 JL combined with Julian Lage’s love of electric guitars meant a second Collings-Julian collaboration was inevitable. But following such a highly praised signature model with yet another meant leaving nothing on the table. From its organic beginnings, the process envisioned by both parties was something designed and built from the sound up. The Collings 470 JL is the result of years-long conversations, engineering, testing, tweaking, playing, and listening. And then doing it all over again until it was right. From first sketches through plugging in the final prototypes, every aspect of this model inside and out is the result of a unique approach, technique, and style - both from the builder’s and player’s point of view - culminating in a one-of-a-kind electric guitar experience. In collaboration with our friend Julian Lage, we proudly present the Collings 470 JL.
