What we say:

At A Glance

The Collings 470 JL Julian Lage is the stunning signature of modern Jazz guitar hero, Julian Lage. Designed in close collaboration over a number of years with Julian, the 470 JL delivers exactly what he needs and wants in an electric guitar.

The 470 JL is based on the classic singlecut, 2 pickup design, and combines the lightweight, resonant nature of a hollowbody with the stunning sustain of a solid body guitar. Taking this concept as a starting point, Collings have then kitted it out with some choice features as well as providing their superior levels of craft. The 470 JL is rigged with a pair of stunning Ron Ellis Ellisonics pickups with custom adjustable height, to capture every nuance of your playing and deliver that exquisite, articulate Julian Lage tone. It also sports a Bigsby B3 Vibrato for both gorgeous vintage note colouration, and that vintage loose feel that a trapeze style tailpiece (or Bigsby vibrato) provide.

Features We Love:

Ron Elis Ellisonics Pickups

These pickups were purpose built for the 470 JL, offering fantastic clarity, note separation and an almost acoustic-like response.

Trestle Block

This guitar sports a fully hollow body with Collings' Trestle Block construction design, imparting the huge sustain of a solid body instrument with the resonance and low weight of a hollowbody.

Bigsby B3 Vibrato

The Bigsby B3 wrapover style vibrato is a classic piece of kit for adding subtle colouration to your notes and chords.

Who Is It For?

Fans of Julian's playing will love this, but so equally will anyone looking for a well designed guitar with a gorgeous sound.

Highlights:

  • Crafted to the highest standard
  • Combines solid sustain with hollow resonance
  • Designed in close collaboration with jazz legend Julian Lage
  • A perfect blend of vintage and modern
