Oh goodness - is this a cool axe or what?!This amazing Collings 470 JL in Antiqued Black Top is soo-perb!The success of the Collings OM1 JL combined with Julian Lage’s love of electric guitars meant a second Collings-Julian collaboration was inevitable. But following such a highly praised signature model with yet another meant leaving nothing on the table. From its organic beginnings, the process envisioned by both parties was something designed and built from the sound up.The Collings 470 JL is the result of years-long conversations, engineering, testing, tweaking, playing, and listening. And then doing it all over again until it was right. From first sketches through plugging in the final prototypes, every aspect of this model inside and out is the result of a unique approach, technique, and style - both from the builder’s and player’s point of view - culminating in a one-of-a-kind electric guitar experience.In collaboration with our friend Julian Lage, we proudly present the Collings 470 JL.Other specifications include:Construction Fully hollow w/ trestle blockBody Solid Honduran mahoganyTop Maple laminateNeck Honduran mahoganyBody Binding Non-grained ivoroidFingerboard Binding EbonyPeghead Binding NoneBridge Pinned ebony base w/ tune-o-matic saddle top (nylon saddles)Tailpiece Bigsby vibrato B3Fingerboard Ebony w/ graduated pearl dotsFingerboard Radius 12"Pickups Ron Ellis Ellisonics (custom adjustable height)Pots/Caps DiMarzio 500K / Jupiter Vintage Yellow / Orange Drop Treble BleedKnobs Black/Silver or Black/Gold Reflector TopPickup Rings Black PhenolicNut 1 11/16" DelrinScale Length 24 7/8"Neck Joint Extra long mortise & tenonFrets Medium 18% nickel-silverPeghead Veneer Ebony w/ MOP Collings Script logoPeghead Profile 470 JL HaircutTuners Relic nickel Waverly with vintage oval buttons (16:1 ratio)Wiring  470 Wiring (master volume, two tones)Guitar Finish High gloss nitrocellulose lacquerPickguard Acrylic Tortoise (1-ply) or Parchment (3-Ply)Truss Rod Cover Black/Cream/BlackStrings D'Addario NYXL1149 (.011" - .049")Neck Profile 470 JL (1st Fret 0.850" / 9th Fret 0.955")Body Length 17 ⅜”Body Depth 1 13/16”Lower Bout Width 13 1/2”Total Length 38 3/4”Case Deluxe hardshell case by Ameritage6 lbs 5 oz23402For more information on the Collings 470 JL, please contact us.
