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

The two Collings electric guitars used here in order of apperance are 290 then the 360. I'm playing both guitars through a Headstrong Lil King amp with 1X12, then into a Fulldrive 2 pedal for distorted tones. Both guitars have Curt Mangan red label 10-46 strings. Specs of each of these guitars can be found on the Collings web site. I would love to hear from you - thanks for watching!

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)....

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,

@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!

@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.
