See through control cavity covers... There's a company that's proud of what's INSIDE, too!

Hugely nice guitar with a hugely nice case to match!

One of the best sounding electrics I ever played, but couldn’t get along with the “dish” edge that dug into my strumming arm. I called Collings, and while they explained the “dish” edge and said they know it doesn’t work for everyone, their suggestion was to buy a 290, and they’d be willing to do a custom arm contour. I never did it. The sound of the CL was so good, and I didn’t think I’d replicate it. Enjoy!

sorry it didn't work out and for sharing the story. Got to love a company of this level you can actually interact with and offer to try to meet your needs.
