2026 Collings 470JL Julian LAGE Antiquated Black with Bigsby Ron Ellis Pickups!

Here is a great 2026 Collings 470 JL Julian Lage in Antiqued Black with a Bigsby tailpiece and Ron Ellis pickups. Being a vintage guitar shop, we really appreciate what Collings and Julian Lage have achieved with this model. It's a new guitar with a genuine vintage vibe, but with the playability and consistency you'd hope for from Collings.

The guitar sounds exceptional and plays easily, unlike some of the older Gretsch Duo Jets we see come through the shop. It's a really nice combination of vintage-inspired looks and modern playability.

This example is minty, with just a few swirl marks and light pick scratches. Overall, it's very presentable and looks almost new.

The neck has a comfortable feel, measuring 0.85" at the first fret and 1.00" at the 12th fret, with a nut width just over 1-11/16".

At just 6.6 lbs., it's also a very comfortable guitar to play. It comes complete with the original hardshell case and paperwork, as shown.

  • Finish: Antiqued Black

  • Model: 470 JL Julian Lage

Playability & Sound

This is an exceptional-playing and great-sounding Collings. The neck feels comfortable, and the guitar plays easily across the fingerboard. The Ron Ellis pickups sound excellent, complementing the vintage-inspired character of the 470 JL.

The neck measures 0.85" at the first fret and 1.00" at the 12th fret, with a nut width just over 1-11/16".

At 6.6 lbs., it has a nice lightweight feel and is a pleasure to play.
