Guitar Comparison - Collings Electrics (360/290) - by Tonedr

[cthomasr]

Wow, great demo! Thank you for posting. The feel of the guitars is quite similar in hand and this video really helps me hear the difference clearly. I have to say it's the 290 for me. Been thinking about a Collings electric for some time now. Maybe today is NGD (new guitar day)....

[tonedr]

i'd love to hear if you add one to your collection....the 290 is a killer guitar! Thanks for your kind post and all the best with your music,

@tonedr

I sure did (it's Orange!) and have not put it down in 2 days. Just might get some sleep tonight....

Thanks again for the virtual help!

Great Demo!

Do you happen to know what the headstock pitch angle is on these babies? Keep the great vids coming.

wow the 360 has a much brighter tone. i guess if you like jazz, go with the 290. they both look great though.

[tonedr]

i agree - first mini-hum i've owned and it does growl and have a brighter tone that typical HB - thanks for sharing your impressions and watching!

all the best,

@foolintherain100 This particular 360 has the Maple top which does give it a little brighter tone than what one might expect from minis. The 360 is also available in a solid Mahogany body and that sounds WAY different than this Maple top version. To my ears, the all mahogany version is much warmer overall better for the Blues style I play.

Fine playing and nice sound. You inspired me to buy me Collings 290. And I love the sound of the guitar. Thank you for posting.

[tonedr]

All the best to you :-)

If I was told I could have as many guitars as I wanted, but only one pickup, it would be Lollar mini HB's - best pickups on the planet!

[tonedr]

that is a great endorsement.....i've got to say i love them! Really appreciate you watching and i hope all is good,

dale

I think I need to feel and hear one in person so I know you won't mail one up I'll just give you the directions to Vermont and you can take a road trip LOL!!

take care my friend

Paul

[tonedr]

that is one of the best ideas i've heard in a long while..Vermont yes!! What month works for you guys?? Hey if your ever in KY you've got a friend in Versailles that will play guitar and eat as long as you want!

your friend,

dale

[ralphsilat]

With you playing them, both guitars sound pretty awesome! The 360 does seem to have more of a trebley sort of edge to it though. In all positions, its tone is a tad crisper than the 290's.  It's got more bite.

[tonedr]

that is what i hear as well - maybe somehow even a bit more focus to the tone - not good or bad but a nice difference. Thanks so much for taking your time to watch and share your impressions.......kind words are great appreciated. All the best,

dale

[Dicedrum]
