“Basically A Race Car” — The Collings 470JL - Fretboard Journal

fretboardjournal.com

The Collings 470 JL embodies the essence of a meticulously crafted instrument, blending a hollow body’s warmth with the punch of a solid body. The design process, deeply rooted in Julian Lage’s playstyle, has resulted in a versatile guitar that excels in nuanced expression. However, while its hybrid construction offers unique tonal possibilities, the guitar may require a skilled player to truly unlock its potential—much like a race car demands a skilled driver. Overall, the 470 JL stands as a testament to innovation, though it may not cater to every player's needs.
