FS - Collings 290 Orange/Cherry *now with pics
What's Hot
For sale is my lovely Collings 290 in Orange (although it’s really not orange as such, more a Orange/Cherry hybrid. It’s a really cool and vintage colour, the best they do IMO).
Doesn’t get played much because I’m a Strat player but it’s utterly fantastic in sound, feel and playability - it’s a real cream of the crop guitar from one of the best companies out there. I will be sorry to see it go but needs must.
Neck is a rounded ‘59 type, a nice handful but certainly thinner than a ‘57/58, probably somewhere between a ‘59 and ‘60. Pickups are Loller P-90’s.
Superb condition and in what is probably the nicest hardcase ever.
£1800 of your English credits. (£3500 new!). No trades thanks and collection only from Hemel Hempstead in Herts.

Comments
Would consider partial trades so long as I have about £700 cash my way.
Would mainly look at an old PRS Custom/McCarty/singlecut. All set for Gibson and Fender, not really after anything pointy.
Cheers.
There is one on ebay at the moment but be careful of the earlier ones with the Spertzel tuners as they were renowned for the buttons slipping but I believe Collings used to swap them out FOC if you had a problem.

Have you seen this one?, I've played this one and it is in mint condition and plays great.
