This 2012 Collings 290DCS, with its TV Yellow finish, is a guitar that immediately stands out! It's an ode to the original "working man's rock 'n' roll" guitar, but in a modern package.
Collings is known for its impeccable craftsmanship and attention to detail, and this 290DCS certainly proves it. With its striking TV Yellow finish, classic double-cut design, and powerful P90 pickup, this guitar combines vintage looks with modern reliability and playability.
The 290 series is Collings' tribute to the classic single-cut guitars of the 1950s, but in a contemporary double-cut version. Built with a Honduran mahogany body and fitted with a comfortable C-profile mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard, this guitar offers a familiar and accessible playing experience. The neck has a 12" radius and a 24.9" scale, providing a fine balance between playability and tonal character. The Kluson hardware and Gotoh tuners with the Collings logo give the guitar its authentic vintage look.
The guitar is loaded with a single P90 pickup in the bridge position, measuring 9.72k, a configuration that delivers a direct, powerful sound with plenty of bite and character. Whether playing clean chords or cranking up the amp, this P90 always delivers a dynamic and expressive tone that's perfect for rock, blues, and everything in between. The guitar is in excellent condition with only minor playwear and comes with a black pickguard in an Ameritage hardshell case.
