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.  Construction Solid body cutaway Body Honduran mahogany Neck Honduran mahogany Body Binding None Fingerboard Binding None Peghead Binding None Bridge Kluson ABR-1 (Nickel-plated Zinc) Tailpiece Kluson Stop Tailpiece (nickel-plated zinc, steel studs) Fingerboard Rosewood w/ ivoroid long dots (5mm non-tapered) Fingerboard Radius 12" Pickups ThroBak P90 52/54 SB-Bridge-Black Pots/Caps DiMarzio 500K / Jupiter Vintage Yellow Knobs Amber or black top hat Pickup Rings Cream or black Nut 1 11/16" Scale Length 24 7/8" Neck Joint Extra long mortise & tenon Frets Medium 18% nickel-silver Peghead Veneer Ebony w/ MOP Collings logo Peghead Profile Haircut Tuners Nickel Gotoh w/ Collings logo Wiring 50s style Guitar Finish High gloss nitrocellulose lacquer Pickguard Black/Cream/Black Truss Rod Cover Black/Cream/Black with 290 logo Strings D'Addario NYXL1149 (.011" - .049") Case Deluxe hardshell case by Ameritage
