2025 Collings 470 JL Julian Lage Antiquated Sunburst Fixed Bridge No Bigsby! MINT!

Here is one of the standout modern Collings models, the 470 JL Julian Lage, a beautifully executed signature model that consistently impresses players and collectors alike.

This example features a very appealing antiqued sunburst finish paired with a factory fixed tailpiece, giving it a refined vintage-inspired aesthetic right out of the case. As expected from this model, it is loaded with top-tier components including Ron Ellis pickups, an ABR-1 bridge, Waverly tuners, an ebony fingerboard, and a tortoise pickguard, all built with the exceptional attention to detail that defines Collings.

Tonally and conceptually, this guitar feels like a modern interpretation of a high-end vintage Gretsch Duo Jet, but with improved refinement, stability, and consistency. It has a very open, resonant acoustic response, and when plugged in it delivers a rich, articulate, and highly musical tone that really sets it apart.

This one is in mint condition, just in from the original owner, and presents essentially like new.

It comes complete with the original hardshell case, paperwork, and original box.

A great opportunity to save a bit on a near-new example of a highly regarded modern signature model.
