My dear friends at @collingsguitars have created my dream instrument. Inspired by the sonic ethos of early electric guitars, combining a strong & powerful tone with a super dimensional tonal palette, embodied in the most comfortable-to-play form. The 470JL feels like home to me.

This is my dream guitar. It represents everything I love about the electric guitar and is infused with the elegance and mastery that Collings brings. It speaks to the early days of electric guitars and points to the future. Can’t wait to hear it in the hands of other guitarists!
