Collings 470 JL Black Stop Tail
The Collings 470JL was devised in close conjunction with guitarist Julian Lage and is unlike any other electric in the Collings lineup. Designed from the ground up, the 470JL features a fully hollow one-piece mahogany body with a trestle center-block and laminated maple top for light weight and feedback resistance, and a super-thin blacktop nitrocellulose lacquer finish with a slightly antiqued patina. The neck has a unique carve with a deep and round C/V hybrid shape, a nut of 1-11/16”, 24-7/8” scale, 12” radius fingerboard, and a flush cutaway.
Ron Ellis was brought on to custom-create pickups that have a higher output and true single-coil clarity, combining the characteristics of two of the best sounding pickups of the 1950s – the DeArmond Dynasonics and those from a Fender Telecaster – into his Ellisonics which are only available in this model.
The guitar is stunning to look at, beguiling to play, and some serious ear-candy for single-coil players. A guitar of this style that’s built with Collings’ attention to detail and playability is something that we’ve always needed.
With deluxe hardshell case.
