Selling this beautiful Collings 470JL as I just don't play it enough and need to free up some space!
For some context, I picked this up brand new back in March 2025 from Coda. Plays beautifully, as you'd expect: the neck is a dream, the pickups are nuanced and it stays in tune wonderfully. Honestly an incredible guitar – sad to be giving it up!
Condition is near mint. There is one ding I can see by the bigsby (pictured). All else is perfect. Has never left the house.
Comes with the original case, documentation, etc. Nothing changed, removed or binned.
Happy to chat about price, send any more photos or answer any questions!
Pick up only for this – based in SW London. Also not looking to trade.
