Collings 290DC S 1959 Crimson (568)
$5,933.00
Named for the scenic 290 highway that winds past the Collings shop though the Texas Hill Country, the 290® is a modern day tribute to the original working man's rock'n roll guitar. A solid mahogany body and neck are complimented by P90 pickups for a tone that shows off the amazing harmonic range and dynamics of this often underrated configuration.
Custom features include a custom 1959 Crimson finish, Aged finish and hardware and Throbak pickups.
