Instead of the traditional soapbar P90s, we opted for a dogear Lollar P90 in the bridge and a Lollar Charlie Christian pickup in the neck position. While the inspiration for this pickup complement may be obvious, the two pickups work really well together—the bite and cut of the bridge P90 are nicely complemented by the warm, wooly, depth of the Charlie Christian. In the middle position, Collings' controls offer a wide range of flexibility. Too much fun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven though the stock 290 pickguard looks nice, we couldn't resist upgrading this one to a three-ply Parchment pickguard. The subtle off-white looks perfect against the Translucent Orange. As we've come to expect from Collings, every detail was executed perfectly. This an impressive guitar from an impressive builder at the top of their game. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody\u003cspan\u003e - \u003c\/span\u003eHonduran mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck\u003cspan\u003e - \u003c\/span\u003eHonduran mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard\u003cspan\u003e - \u003c\/span\u003eRosewood w\/ Ivoroid long dots (5mm non-tapered)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge - Kluson ABR-1 \u003cspan\u003e(Nickel-plated Zinc)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTailpiece - Kluson Stop Tailpiece (Nickel-platedZzinc, Steel studs)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Pickup - \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eLollar P-90 Dogear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Pickup - Lollar Charlie Christian\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePots \/ Caps -\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eDiMarzio 500K \/ Jupiter Vintage Yellow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnobs - Black top hat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard - \u003cspan\u003e 3-Ply Parchment\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTruss Rod Cover - White\/Black\/White w\/ Highway 290 logo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut\u003cspan\u003e - \u003c\/span\u003eBone 1-11\/16\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length\u003cspan\u003e - \u003c\/span\u003e24-7\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Joint\u003cspan\u003e - \u003c\/span\u003eExtra long mortise \u0026amp; tenon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrets\u003cspan\u003e - \u003c\/span\u003eMedium 18% nickel-silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeghead Veneer\u003cspan\u003e - \u003c\/span\u003eEbony w\/ Mother of Pearl Collings logo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuners\u003cspan\u003e - \u003c\/span\u003eNickel Gotoh w\/ Ivoroid Buttons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWiring\u003cspan\u003e - '\u003c\/span\u003e50s style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Radius -\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e12\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish -\u003cspan\u003e Translucent Orange\u003c\/span\u003e high gloss nitrocellulose lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Collings 290 includes a deluxe, form-fitting case from Ameritage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reemes Music","offers":[{"title":"201593 - Translucent Orange \/ Parchment \/ Charlie","offer_id":53838898037055,"sku":"RMC-MUS-G89169779","price":1999.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/7535\/9039\/files\/Collings290CC_P90-Detail05.jpg?v=1782094850","url":"https:\/\/www.reemesmusic.com\/products\/collings-290-translucent-orange-with-charlie-christian","provider":"Reemes Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
