This Collings Guitars - 290 DC S - 1959 Faded Crimson encapsulates the simplicity and sophistication for which Collings guitars are known. Named after the scenic highway that runs through the Texas Hill Country, the 290 embodies what it means to rock - a lightweight, versatile double-cutaway one-piece electric, with the simplicity of a single pickup setup.

This guitar is light and extremely well balanced, you can feel the guitar resonate against your body and all the way up the neck. The single pickup choice allows for a stripped down wiring setup which delivers that P90 tone directly to your rig.
