Collings 290 DC Electric Guitars in Jet Black & TV Yellow | CME Gear Demo | Andrew Wittler

The Collings 290 DC electric guitars have a vintage-inspired tone and aesthetic, featuring a double-cutaway mahogany body and dual hand-wound P90 pickups from Jason Lollar. These guitars are versatile - capable of producing pristine clean tones with rich harmonic complexity as well as hard-hitting classic rock sounds.
Here, Andrew demos both the Collings 290 DC in Jet Black with Tortoise Pickguard and the Collings 290 DC in TV Yellow. The amp used in this gear demo is a Fender '65 Princeton Reverb Reissue Blue Flower.

Andrew's sense of humor is gold. So are these guitars.

[@tomseiple3280]

Oh, and I guess he plays pretty damn well too.

[@drew293]

Thanks Tom Seiple!

[@nachodirtybikes7421]

@@drew293 come back andreww

[@wizaxed]

Andrew, nice to see a video of you again. It's been a while since we have been able to enjoy your comedic wit and excellent guitar skillz. Great video.

[@drew293]

It's good to be back, wizaxed.

[@phillipharris1835]

Oh Andrew and Ryan, ya chuckleheads! Laughs every.single. time. Excellent job y'all!

[@PubliusRutiliusLupus]

I honestly LOL'd pretty heartily on the "I dunno, I'll have to Ask Jeeves on this one" line. Nice ad.

[@doomerconsumer]

Don't You Know By Now was a joy a listen to play, inspiring guitar-work Andrew! Great demo as well!

[@drew293]

Thanks Daniel Sanchez-Cabrera!

[@hanshansen4267]

I miss that guy so much.

[@derekwalton16]

Great playing!

[@jmflyer55]

Well played!

[@whisperthiefmusic]

Great to hear someone really play an instrument to in a demo forma change and not just bash some chords and widdle away. Thanks :)

[@Plentyistheway]

Sounds great.

[@BruceBurger]

Omg! The head stock does look like a fresh haircut! Love your playing and your jokes!

[@thedeadweather3]

Andrew's haircut matches the headstock

[@yraay]

Nice work Andrew...Smooth player! Love the Zep!

[@drew293]

Thanks Yraay Zonie!

[@JALBAVERA]

Awesome!!!!!

[@jessemaes1990]

Sounds absolutely killer though!

[@eternalme1016]

ABSOLUTE BEAUTIFUL GUITARS!!! Nicely put through the Paces......I do wished that you would have used the Bridge Pick-up and ROCKED IT! Anyways LOVE the Vid.🎸💚

[@eso9314]

Konnichiwa!! Awesome Andrew!!!

[@PhoenixIsOnline]

I want this guy's jacket.

[@drew293]

Great thrift store find.

[@clintwilson6380]

Yep, me2

[@curtis5979]

Andrew is a dreamboat

[@gauloiscalifornien]

Interesting design, the last fret is very accessible.

[@mattbellamy5719]

Nice guitars i wish i had those

[@ThaoAustin]

the headstock is like his hair AHAHAH xD

[@clintwilson6380]

Nice! I thought it looked like hair the first time I saw it too.

[@RileyReneau]

This is like 1995 Jim Carry and 2012 Smosh doing a skit together

[@craig4fsu]

Do you find the bridge pup a little thin? Over wound might be more preferable?

[@RobertSmith-nn2eu]

Do you have to have great hair to work at CME?

[@sooparticular]

+Robert Smith no. u do not

[@henrysoults3773]

Man am i jealous of people that can finger-pick. Especially when they play as nice as that.

[@henrysoults3773]

Alright Storanzo98 , point taken. Lets just both agree to be jealous of those who can do both. Then everybody's happy...er, sort of.

[@Storanzo98]

Fine by me, all (sort of) happy! Sorry if i sounded mean, Internet comments/ conversations can take out the mood and life of sentences.

[@mattchurchill]

Haha! Awesome.

[@cct17]

The mic seems a bit close to the amp. Giving the sound a little more room to breath will probably make the audio sound better.

[@1StoopidStuff1]

The song he's playing is sounding super familiar!

[@mattyu2011]

The lemon song-Led Zeppelin!

[@62tackle]

got to love the lemon song by zep

[@jessemaes1990]

"Your children will get them, unless you sell your children to buy this guitar."

[@guitarnut7438]

I guess if you have such a haircut you HAVE to play a Collings :)

[@mktmktmkt]

konnichiwa!

[@xXnickelfishXx]

1:14 Shamless self plug

[@xXnickelfishXx]

shameless

[@LightenupandshootMikey]

what songs is he playing????

[@tomgroleau222]

Take about 1k off of the price and I'd consider it.

[@LedWolf7]

Merchandise Plug XD

[@zacharypetersen5947]

Rockin the Ariana grande I see lol

[@drew293]

Can't deny that guilty pleasure.

[@deathknight0423]

Haha I have the exact same shirt as him.

[@drew293]

Thumbs up for The Gap's sale rack!

[@MrEmohdee]

ROCK ON

[@chrisbassani1152]

"you seriously don't know what the internet is......." yet the first words he said on video were "konichiwa my internet surfers!"

[@mikemph7779]

Where exactly is the internet?

[@IncurZeAwperator]

"They will last your whole life and when you uh... DIE... your children will get them..."

[@ChrisPartykaMusic]

Bucket list: Sell something valuable, then buy a Collings. Dreamin’.....

[@isildur241]

why are y'all so funny?

[@crazyjoe1540]

Ddayumn.

[@rocknrollboise]

If you've ever had a change to put your hands on one of these bad boys, I promise you will never be going back to Gibson.

[@michaell.8938]

Pricey, but nice.

[@daijones101]

What's with all the shaking

[@user-tv9bu4lz7x]

こんにちは。

[@catjive2]

Hilarious

[@jakel5050]

Funny a.f

[@Chance-ry1hq]

Why is it when ever I watch a chicagomusicexchange video I gag, I mean literally "finger down the throat" gag. Where do they get these fools...

[@tapilaha]

true, awesome guitars, but please get some professionals to demo

[@doekebekius1271]

Really?! Their demos, gear and vibe are my favorite!

[@jalan6473]

That is a ROCK guitar. Too many of these CME videos have awesome Rock guitars being played by weak-fingered jazzy players who do not showcase the guitars rock potential....which most of us want to hear. Get on it CME.

[@ZachariahMustafa]

+J Alan go home

[@snorrevonflake]

that amp sounds terribly fuzzy, like a cheap fuzzpedal

[@freq9939]

What happened to this guy lol

[@tapilaha]

you lost me at konichiwa

[@Ahzpayne]

$2,745...for a guitar....HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[@r3goode45832]

Sadly, this was 7 years ago. Their prices have since doubled!

[@w1third]

Too muddy

[@Yahoomediaclub]

Yea sure nice guitars, build and sound, Way over priced tho...Just my opinion tho....Drop the prices , sell more....even Fender is getting the Chinese to build theirs...possibly where your body and neck come from too. So why heavy price?

[@zeppandsongs5282]

completely wrong way to play The Lemon Song

[@DownBadDonk]

What's the point in playing it exactlly like the record?

[@hayden3281]

out of almost 5 minutes, 2 were spent on dumb jokes and CME swag. Just get Joel to do the guitars. Less BS and more of actually playing the guitar.
