Details
The 470 JL is the second model Collings has designed in collaboration with Julian Lage. This is an impressively clean used example, dressed in the lovely antique blonde nitrocellulose lacquer finish. This signature model is inspired by the Gretsch Jet series of guitars from the 1950s, and like those classic instruments, it is chambered, making it lightweight and very responsive. (The body is solid mahogany and the top is laminated maple.) It’s fitted with a pair of custom wound Ron Ellis 'Ellisonic' pickups, which have all the focused clarity of a vintage Dynasonic pickup, but with an extended frequency response and greater harmonic content. The cosmetic condition of this instrument is fantastic, and only has a bit of fretwear. If you’re looking for recent 470 JL in great shape, this might just be the one. It includes its original hardshell case.
