470 JL - FIXED TAILPIECE
The success of the Collings OM1 JL 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 parties 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.
While the original 470 JL featured a Bigsby vibrato tailpiece, this version has a new solid high-mass fixed tailpiece specially-designed by Collings to provide the same perfect balance as the original model with the increased sustain and unique sonic character of a fixed setup.
Note: The 470 JL comes with a finish that is beautifully aged at the collings factory, which features light scuffing and scratching across all its surfaces.
