Collings 470-JL Red w/Case 47026851

Serial: 47026851
Weight: 6lb 0.2oz

The Collings 470-JL is a fully hollow electric designed in collaboration with Julian Lage, built to deliver a level of responsiveness and nuance that sits somewhere between a traditional electric and an acoustic instrument. Constructed with a laminated maple top over a solid Honduran mahogany body, it offers a lively, resonant character with strong fundamentals and exceptional note separation. The custom Ron Ellis Ellisonic pickups capture that acoustic-like response while maintaining clarity and balance across the frequency range, making this a highly expressive instrument that reacts directly to the player’s touch.
