The Collings 470 JL in Antiqued Blonde Top is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, blending vintage-inspired aesthetics with modern performance. This fully hollow beauty features a solid Honduran mahogany body paired with a maple laminate top, creating a warm, resonant tone with exceptional clarity. The neck, also crafted from Honduran mahogany, is shaped with the 470 JL profile for a supremely comfortable playing experience, while the ebony fingerboard with graduated pearl dots adds a touch of elegance.

Attention to detail is evident in every element, from the ivoroid body binding to the hand-polished high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish. The Bigsby B3 vibrato tailpiece and pinned ebony base bridge with a tune-o-matic saddle (featuring nylon saddles) provide smooth, expressive tonal control. Equipped with Ron Ellis Ellisonic pickups—custom-designed for adjustable height—the guitar offers a tonal palette that's both dynamic and versatile, enhanced by the thoughtfully designed 470 wiring system featuring DiMarzio 500K pots, vintage-inspired capacitors, and a treble bleed circuit.

Relic nickel Waverly tuners with vintage oval buttons add a classic touch to the 470 JL's unique "haircut" peghead design, complete with an ebony veneer and mother-of-pearl Collings script logo. The guitar's acrylic tortoise pickguard, black phenolic pickup rings, and black/gold reflector knobs exude retro charm, perfectly complementing its timeless design. Lightweight at just 6 lbs, the 470 JL is as comfortable to hold as it is captivating to hear. Encased in a deluxe hardshell case, this instrument is a true collector's piece and a performer’s dream.
