Collings 470 JL Julian Lage Signature – Blonde – Rare Factory Trapeze TailpieceFor sale is my Collings 470 JL Julian Lage Signature in Blonde, fitted with the comparatively rare factory Collings trapeze tailpiece rather than the more usual Bigsby.This is an exceptionally light, resonant and responsive guitar. Its fully hollow, trestle-block construction gives it a wonderfully open and acoustic quality, while the Ron Ellis Ellisonic pickups provide excellent clarity, dynamics and note separation.The trapeze version is particularly light and has a direct, lively response. It should appeal to anyone interested in the 470 JL who does not want the additional weight or feel of a Bigsby.The guitar is in excellent condition and perfect working order, with a few minor cosmetic marks consistent with careful use. It has been kept and played at home during my ownership.Originally supplied by Coda Music, I’’m selling solely because I’m substantially downsizing my guitar collection.Key specifications:Serial number: 47025626Fully hollow construction with trestle blockHonduran mahogany body and neckMaple laminate topEbony fingerboard with graduated pearl dots24 7/8-inch scale length12-inch fingerboard radiusRon Ellis Ellisonic pickupsFactory Collings trapeze tailpiecePinned ebony bridge base with tune-o-matic saddle top and nylon saddlesMaster volume and individual tone controlsWaverly tunersNitrocellulose lacquer finishIncluded are the original Collings deluxe hardshell case, original Collings warranty and serial-number card, and Collings cloth.Collection from Bristol is strongly preferred.
