Collings 290, a sorta but not quite Les Paul Special:
This is one of the early ones, from 2007. Unplayed, has been part of a collection. I could not resist. Played a couple of these years ago, and couldn't get them out of my mind. The body is shaped and tapered a bit differently than the LP Special. Scale slightly longer at 24 7/8. Underwound P-90s from Jason Lollar. Adds up to a most versatile, toneful guitar.
I already miss the red Bluesbird, but having this wonderful Collings 290 is keeping my mind off it just fine.
