Named for the scenic US 290 highway that winds past the Collings shop and through the Texas Hill Country, our 290® is a modern day tribute to the original working man’s rock and roll guitar. A solid mahogany body and neck are complemented by two Lollar Soapbar P90 pickups for a tone that shows off the amazing harmonic range and dynamics of this often underrated configuration.
