Verified via Reverb

LaMontagne used to own a Collings Goldtop but he sold it in early 2015 through reverb.com.

"Another stunning Collings guitar from the private collection of Ray LaMontagne. This is a truly incredible guitar with a very '50s-Gibson-like feel to the neck and body. It plays beautifully up and down the fretboard, and sounds divine. The P90 style pickups don't have quite the width of a humbucker, but certainly pack their own unique flavor that's well suited for just about any style."
