2025 Collings 470 JL Julian Lage Signature Antiquated Blonde Bigsby

The 2025 Collings 470 JL Julian Lage Signature in Antiquated Blonde is a remarkable collaboration between Collings Guitars and acclaimed guitarist Julian Lage, combining vintage-inspired design with exceptional craftsmanship and tonal versatility. Featuring a fully hollow Honduran mahogany body with trestle block bracing and a maple laminate top, the 470 JL delivers a lively, resonant acoustic character with excellent sustain and feedback resistance. A pair of custom Ron Ellis Ellisonic pickups provides articulate, dynamic tones with exceptional clarity and warmth, while the Bigsby B3 vibrato adds expressive versatility. The Honduran mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard, and 24 7/8" scale length offer a comfortable, responsive playing experience. Finished in an elegant Antiquated Blonde nitrocellulose lacquer, this signature model captures the distinctive sound, feel, and aesthetic of one of today's most respected guitarists.
