Named for the scenic 290 highway that winds past the Collings shop though the Texas Hill Country, the 290 is a modern day tribute to the original working man's rock'n roll guitar. A solid mahogany body and neck are complimented by two Lollar Soap Bar P90 pickups for a tone that shows off the amazing harmonic range and dynamics of this often underrated configuration.
A solid body electric guitar, the Collings 290 is constructed with Honduran mahogany for the best acoustical response. This is complimented by two Lollar Soapbar P90 pickups for rounded basses and smoother trebles for that perfect vintage harmonic range.:
