Collings Collings 470 JL Julian Lage Signature Model in Antiqued Sunburst

Description

This stunning Collings 470 JL Julian Lage Signature model features a Antiqued Sunburst top and natural back and sides. The success of the Collings OM1 JL acoustic model 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 Collings and Julian 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 their friend Julian Lage, Collings proudly presents the Collings 470 JL.
