2026 Collings 470 JL Julian Lage Signature Package Antiqued Blonde Top Serial #47026868

When the 470 JL first appeared on the scene a few years back, the guitar blogosphere wondered aloud how a guitar could be as good as the 470 JL is. It delivers the vintage-inspired tone and feel Julian Lage wanted in his signature model. Rock solid build quality, superior playability in a beautiful contoured body. Fully hollow with trestle-block construction, a solid Honduran mahogany body, and custom-adjustable Ron Ellis Ellisonics pickups combine for a warm, dynamic voice, while the Bigsby B3 vibrato and antiqued nitrocellulose finish round out the vintage-forward package. Play the guitar that reset the bar.
