The Collings headstock is IMO the best looking headstock shape ever, very classy! Awesome sounding guitar too!

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Chris Morash Hello Chris, Mick here. I think I might agree with you. :0)

[@rileyramone6231]

you are so right about being able to get almost an acoustic guitar sound out of a single p90. Thats one of my favourite things about my junior.

[@joshuabolton1549]

Love the show guys, such brilliant players

[@EJBGuitar]

This video is what prompted me to start the search to get a 290! I ended up getting a dual P90 290 Singlecut in tobacco burst and it is an absolute keeper...stunning in every way!

[@linksayajin2958]

Awesome, awesome, awesome guitar!!! Congratulations!

[@pedrobarbieri5039]

Gorgeous guitar. My favorite guitar used on That Pedal Show's videos. Blows my mind whenever I hear it! Thanks for posting this video - I was looking forward to this one after the strat and tele posts :)

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Pedro Barbieri Excellent. Dan's Huber will be coming soon too - a lovely alternative to the 'usual' axes. Cheers!

[@rossgillcreative]

This really does sound incredible!

[@MrTDembinski]

Been obsessing over this guitar lately...real beauty

[@martino250570]

That guitar and those two amps - oh my god! What a sound!

[@CellaDorrn]

guitarist magazine.. i knew but could not remember.. thank you for that reminder.. very simple indeed.. i like it..

[@CBGypsy03]

Getting a single cut in tv yellow tomorrow... second collings and absolutely beautiful 😍

[@wtgs17]

I bought a Collings acoustic in 2003 and haven´t heard a better acoustic guitar ever since. Simply amazing

[@ThatPedalShow]

+wtgs17 Me too, albeit a little later. Congrats!

[@Stratollac]

I've never really had much interest in a P90 equipped guitar, and then I found your channel. That axe sounds glorious! And it's dead sexy, too.

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Randy Thomas Thanks Randy. P90s are cool. Definitely their own thing.

[@rhysjones7213]

That Pedal Show hey mick. I’ve got a Gibson melody maker and want to change the P90. Would you recommend the lollar? Or other alternatives?? Thanks. Rhys.

[@ggoty]

Boy, Collings are lovely. I own a few Waterloos but the gentleman's cut on Collings' headstocks are a thing of beauty.

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Gavin Giles I’m mesmerised by their guitars Gavin. RIP Bill - a true one-off!

[@juanmartinreborati7928]

Great sounding guitar!! Congratulations!!

[@Stev0BabaGhanoush]

That midrange is so thick. Such a beautiful sounding (and looking) guitar.

[@TheMrZanshin]

Love the new series! Well done.

[@ThatPedalShow]

+TheMrZanshin Thank you! We're going to be making more short videos, in addition to the regular Friday shows. We're doing these now because people keep asking about the guitars, so the info will always be there. Over coming weeks you can expect some A/B comparisons of popular pedals, amp overviews and more. Thanks for watching!

[@Old_Sod]

Brilliant guitar. Brilliant sound on the video

[@nickjackson6375]

I’m glad they offer both options. I love the wraparound.

[@ThatPedalShow]

Most people do. If I was ordering new, I’d order the wrap over. But this guitar came into my life... and it will never leave. Playing it for some of the Cream show we have coming up. It’s just a bloomin spectacular instrument in the heat of battle. Cheers!

The '63(?) junior next! Daniel's put them on my radar and I picked up a 1963 just last week and it is a BEAST.

[@Inverted314]

these are my favorite, no tricks, all in the hands.

[@MrProwler101477]

love your Chanel wonderful guitar and like Dan would say your playing is just "Astonishing" Mick! 😉

[@clayheinzerling1852]

I gotta say on most of these videos with the hamstead trem makes me realize that these guys are masters of using Tremolo for a subtle bit of movement

[@andrewanderson3746]

as a big fan of all mahogany axes, I approve. sounds like the pickup suits the tonewood beautifully, nice and balanced.

[@ashleymerritt9461]

That sounds unreal!

[@hafstrat]

It sounds tremendous. Looks fab too. 😃

[@Billywagner22]

Welp I finally did it and picked up a 290 DC S in the same finish. It only took me 6 years' and it's a killer!

[@MrEddie-gf3yg]

The headstock looks great for tuning stability!

[@vKarl71]

Collings makes wonderful guitars.

[@jonathandiaz2435]

I really like how he used the trem at 1:30. Not extremely harsh and I'm the way but just enough that it's present in the trail.

[@robertpierce6444]

Really cool review. I treated myself for Christmas and have the same guitar with tortoise shell pick-guard on the way. Should be here Christmas Eve. Pretty excited as this will be my first P90 guitar.

[@ThatPedalShow]

Enjoy Robert! Such a wonderful thing.

[@garethbe]

Pure class...

[@ZDALI14]

You guys need to do videos on noise gates of that sort

[@Billywagner22]

My next guitar purchase. What a great sounding plank!

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Billy Wagner Yeah baby!

[@jeffhebert9643]

It sounds awesome my friend .

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Jeff Hebert Thank you Jeff. It's a really special guitar for sure. I guess they all are in their own way, but this, well... :0)

[@AustinKarpinski]

I would love to see a video that display single coil, P90, humbucker, Jazzmaster, Lipstick tube, etc pickups in guitars and why/how they are different and how they work. You and James Bay have changed my mind regarding P90's and would love to know more about the technology as a whole!

[@intrsoul]

I didn't "get" the Collings thing either until I picked one up. Just immaculate build and stunning tone. In a league of their own.

[@ThatPedalShow]

+intrsoul Yep. I've been a fan for a long time. I'm not a fan of custom build guitars because of the variable results, but Collings do factory builds like you expect a custom guitar to be. Off the scale good. To me they feel like old guitars, but new. Magic.

[@intrsoul]

I'm lucky (?) enough to have Chicago Music Exchange on my way home. I've been able to kick the tires on Fano, B3, Collings, Trussart, Grosh, Suhr, Friedman, Bad Cat, %13, 65 Amps ...not to mention cases of boutique pedals and G and F custom shop. Collings has set the bar very high indeed. Congrats on both of yours (or do you have more?!)

[@stilllifewithguitar184]

Thanks for the inspiration to dig out my '65 SG jr. I don't use it a lot, but it is awesome.

[@ThatPedalShow]

+the radical kindness Yes! Juniors are such brilliant guitars in whatever form. :9)

[@zelon1983]

I really dig your playing Mick. The lick at 5:42 is so sweet. Been jamming to it all day :-)

[@ThatPedalShow]

+zelon1983 Thank you muchly! I'm a bit addicted to the Am-F progression. Lots of cool songs... cheers!

[@michaeljohnson7892]

Love my 290 sc

[@nickb.237]

Watch Charlie Starr, of Blackberry Smoke. He will blow your mind with his one P90 LP.

[@mattsaysvideo]

The pick guard is important to me, too. Don’t feel bad.

[@the_swoletariat1621]

I live in Austin, and had no idea Collings was located here, I need to go check it out now!

[@ThatPedalShow]

+The_Swoletatiat oh wow! Go there, be astounded. Totally unique!

[@Ju287V3]

Sounds great, what ever settings you used. Clean or crunch, very nice. I agree though that 11s are a good choice here, gives it more girth than the more common 10s.

[@Grant_Ferstat]

Really nice Mick..

[@allfortonechannel8979]

More great tones. No surprise.

[@xMasterxRazorx]

Wow I'm surprised by some of the cleans you got there. Especially when playing chords and strumming up by the heel of the neck. A versatile beast indeed!

[@Mrthreadedtime]

That guitar...through that amp...sounds amazing

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Mark Wilkinson Why thank you. :0)

[@robpags]

I bought a Collings 290 DC in powder blue a few months ago for a steal on Reverb. Didn't play one before I bought it. Amazing guitars! Best blind purchase I've ever made.

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Rob Pagliuca Yes!

[@chadgarmany5305]

I own 2 Collings guitars -a CL model and i35 Deluxe. The problem is that once you play one, you'll want another. Really fantastic guitars.

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Chad Garmany Tell me about it: I'm currently on 2 and desperate for the third. :0)

[@nigelvonshredman]

Sweet! You're a lucky guy Mick.

[@Adipsia1]

Mick, I too have a 290 DC S, a white one with a tortoiseshell pick-guard. I'd prefer a black pick-guard. Are you interested in a pick-guard swap ?

[@yungmu7804]

ohhhh yeesss, there she is

[@TraneFrancks]

This and your Gold Top are two of my favourite guitars on the channel. This thing is just a beast. My LP Special doesn't match it.

[@daw162]

The workmanship on them is like nothing I've seen on any other solid body. it's understated but perfect. The finish isn't thick, but it looks like panes of glass until the guitar is old enough to telegraph some pores just a little. Which lets you know that the finish isn't thick. They are pin straight, and I had 8 of them used over the last several years and not a single one was anything other than dead straight and when they acclimated to my basement playing area, none moved. they already have every single bit of finish work done to them from the factory - the fretwork is polished and perfect. The nut work isn't even the slightest fraction of a hair high for safety, and they play clear as a bell. 100 guitars in the last 5 years of unhealthy buying just out of curiosity and then unloading on reverb and nothing else was like them. If gibson's custom shop cared a wit about quality, they would send every single person working there to collings for a four year apprenticeship. I've had 15 gibsons - the very best of those was nowhere close to the worst of the 8 collings in any way. Spent my first of buying thinking "how could they ask more than gibson does for a les paul standard" and until getting them and being an amateur builder and seeing how much better they are, I'd never have understood it. they are so good.

[@marksmith9874]

love these videos (and channel generally). so question off the back of this series, do you lust over each others guitars?

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Mark Smith Yes, obviously. Although at core Dan is a Tele/LP guy and I'm Strat/335. Maybe...

[@MatteoTorgy]

Mine has the Kluson stopbar with ABR-1 like yours. I debated myself about the wraparound until I realized I was too much of a control freak to give up the ability to fine tune the setup to my liking. My DC-S is Olympic White with the tortoiseshell guard. Steve McCreary would send you one I’m sure. It’s the perfect guitar.

[@Pstaines439]

I love the bridge P90 in my (Squire) Tele Custom, but this makes me weep ;o))))

[@GingerLeftyGuitar]

Love, love, love

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Ginger Lefty Are you my wife? She says that.

[@GingerLeftyGuitar]

So did John and Paul. Are you a bigamist ;-)

[@marcjennings7681]

I always love the tones you get from this guitar Mick but wondered if you ever have any problems with noise from the p90

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Marc Jennings Yep! It's pretty noisy which is just part of the sound. I move around a lot and use the volume control. Cheers!

[@ArielPosen]

Yessss!

[@1971SuperLead]

Price:US $2,745.00 From $132 for 24 months*

[@ThatPedalShow]

+1971SuperLead Get two!

[@webseiter]

Puh, for that kinda money I guess you could even buy a guitar with three pickups...

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Alexander Langer So funny that's how they used to price them years ago. Esquire, cheaper than Tele. Ha!

[@omikl]

I had a faux tortoise shell guard on my '97 Les Paul Jr TVDC. It disintegrated in the Malaysian climate and started letting off gases sufficiently corrosive that the top three strings in a new set of 10's rusted through and snapped while I was away for a long weekend and the guitar was left out on a stand.

[@mauimikey2491]

Collings all the way👍👍

[@samplings]

Im planning on getting a single cut version of this over a gibson custom equivalent, I have a feeling its just going to be better. After watching this I still feel this way.

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Sam Aronson Better is such a subjective word Sam. Try both, see what talks to you. The one that does is the right guitar for you. Thank you for watching!

[@samplings]

Thanks for replying, I've probably seen all your videos twice! I ended up with the Collings. It's just magical. Tortoiseshell pickguard too! I found the wood choice to be more appealing to me over what was in the Gibson and it just plays like heaven. Thanks for this video, helped me a lot.

[@dylanduke1075]

mick I've a budget dc lpj copy but thinking of changing out pup and wiring.. what exactly is the lollar p90 in your collings?

[@tadlehmann1906]

Mick, what about the off white Collings 360 LT you featured on your “all our guitars” rundown? Was that a loaner? If not, would love the deep dive

[@patolucaspato163]

esta guapi,guapamente esa guita,tron! (no me entendera un carayo) pero serlo es

[@davidbusby1475]

Hi Mick! I just bought a 290 DC S. What are you using to get that fantastic sound in terms of pedals/rig? Thanks 🍻

[@alexwong7]

Mine has the wrap over tailpiece and it's a thing of beauty. It's shaped to intonate properly but you have to look closely to see it. It looks like a simple straight bar but it's very subtly contoured.

[@ThatPedalShow]

It’s an absolute work of art. Like everything Collings does. :0)

[@Pstaines439]

Mick! Did you get a special delivery from Mark at Collings? I emailed him about your pickguard request and he had the same idea to send you one.

[@JTroskaTV]

I liked this guitar enough to go on the Collings web site and look into it. But wow the price! The whole charm is its stripped down working man's vibe. But it carries a PRS carved top, curly maple, facy inlays, burst finish price tag.

[@jamesparr6840]

And worth it, as a player, unless you just want to look at your guitar….

[@thequacken7160]

Love it. Did the math; would take me 9 years to save up for this. Worth the wait? My inclination is 'yes'. What do other people think? How about you Dan and Mick?

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Joel Benotto Um. Nine years is a long time. We say get something more affordable, play your ass off, do some gigs and earn enough money to buy one in 18 months. That would work. Cool guitar for sure!

[@zaphodfender]

I hope that in a future episode you show what you and Dan might as pedalboards for a gig. I know Dan plays in Tin Spirits, and you mention gigging regularly in blues-rock settings. I think it would be interesting to see what you might use in a situation you gig in (guitar(s), pedals, amp).

[@ThatPedalShow]

+zaphodfender Pretty much all the stuff we use regularly in the show Zap. Mick will use Two Rock SP35 or Victory V40. Usually a TS type, Dumble type and Klon drives. Dan tends to use Lazy J 20 and/or Hamstead Artist 20. King Of Tone, Carpe Diem. Pedals change a lot. Dan is never without the KOT, Mick never without a Klon or Klon- alike. Cheers!

[@thevernon48]

Awh man, 3:00 in 😵 what a sound! What did you kick in then Mick, the Purple Plexi?

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Chris Vernon yep! On top of the Page.

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Teun Music Productions It's by osmosis! :0)

[@someweirdguy101]

Got to tour the Collings shop earlier this year just a couple weeks before Bill passed away. Wonder instruments and wonderful people. I agree with Mick that you should go if you can. I hope to afford one some day.

[@empathysgone96]

would love to know your thoughts about the CJ35 and the C100 deluxe from Collings

[@ThatPedalShow]

Ooooh! I know all about the CJ35 as I have one and it's the best guitar I have ever owned. Ever. Not played the C100 Deluxe, but if it's like any of the rest of their guitars, it's awesome. CJ35 is not for everyone. It's quite hard work and loud as hell. I totally LOVE it. :0)

[@empathysgone96]

That Pedal Show i remember, you played it on one of your shows. I had the pleasure of playing a CJ35A and was mesmerized. I’m so ready to sell my guitar and buy one but the wife bought it for me and she might get pissed 😂. The C100 deluxe is a parlor gone dreadnaught. It’s amazing! Hope you get to try one. Please keep the acoustic guitar shows coming. I’ve learned a lot from you guys! Would love your take on acoustic guitar pick ups! Thanks guys 🤟

[@marknorris3769]

i'm curious what year that is thanks

[@doctiberius2717]

I was looking at the Vintage copies just the other week as the Gibson LP juniors are out of my budget for now. I like single coil guitars the best but nice to have something a little different. I ended up buying a nice T-style Michael Kelly a guitarist friend asked why after all these years of playing would I want a lesser guitar make? well my answer is I play anything that feels right for me. I'm still looking for this style of guitar. Mick you never revealed the price you paid compared to what you would have paid for the Gibson versions vintage or reissue at the time. interesting how every guitar seems to have a story 😎

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Doc Tiberius Sounds great Doc - it's an endless journey and it's always throwing up surprises. The guitar was more expensive than a new Gibson but less than an oldie. Guitars are so personal. I didn't start out wanting a Junior, but the Collings came about through great people and relationships, and as much as it is a fantastic guitar, its personal / experience / human value is worth every bit as much to me. I am such a fan of what they do. :0)

[@boozoochavis7506]

You should really have Dan take a look at the neck pickup - he did wonders with his original tele neck pickup! On second thought, maybe you should just leave it the way it is? Collings builds the classics people will be playing 60 years from now - wahey!

[@jltrem]

Dammit, now I want it.

[@JasonVanzant]

That's the guitar Mick will be dreaming about on that desert island!

[@feleboga7988]

Luvly! So how does it compare to Dan|s vintage SG junior?

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Feleboga Different. Not as fragile, a little bit brighter, better intonation. But that LP Jr has something spectacular in the sound. The Collings will be every bit as good in years to come!

[@clappersox]

Would love a review of that CJ35 please Mick:)

[@ThatPedalShow]

+clappersox We could certainly feature it. Not sure a review would be possible (it would score 12/10!) but I can certainly get some sounds down and tell the story! :9)

[@clappersox]

That would be great:) Thanks

[@teocoras]

I dont quite get why people give thumbs down for this kind of vid. The guy is talking about his guitar and people simply go: I don't like it, you suck! Crazy internet bugs me sometimes.

[@ThatPedalShow]

Thanks for the kind words. I think what it is - Mick here - is that a lot of people just don’t get much attention in their lives. For whatever reason they’re not heard. So saying something nasty on KZbin feels like they’re having an impact. That and rebelling against the better side of their upbringing that will have encouraged a bit of tolerance and understanding. So many people never got any of that, or they didn’t listen , and they’ve grown into being entitled people with dreadfully low self esteem. As much as the negative comments upset me (as somebody who’s spent way too much time in dark places) the thought of unhappy people feeling negative all the time upsets me more. Or they just don’t like the guitar or me. Might be the same thing ultimately. :0)

[@teocoras]

@@ThatPedalShow Yeah, I totally agree. Thanks for the reply, Mick! By the way, the tone you get in the song "All of Me" is great, speacially when you kick on that fuzz. Well, I think it is a fuzz. It sounds like a fuzz to me. hahahaha Cheers from Brazil!

[@onenotesolo256]

Mick, I’ve just bought a white 290 DCS with exactly the same spec as yours, and it has the tortoiseshell scratch plate. Happy to swap for your black pick guard if you’re still looking to change.

[@ThatPedalShow]

Thank you! I already got the torty one, but thank you! Enjoy that magnificent guitar. :0)

[@onenotesolo256]

@@ThatPedalShow good lad. I just realised how old your 290 DCS YT video is - Blimey, time flies. Also just noticed that you played your middle 8 riff from what later became the Peter Gabriel studio sessions with you and Dan (both fantastic songs). I’ve written a few originals since lockdown (first one just went up on Spotify and Tidal etc under band name ‘Skullduggery Ltd.’, called “Lockdown (Circuit Breaker)”, so now I have some other stuff to play in guitar shops instead of AC/DC, Eagles etc. It’s quite liberating! I’m a TPS patreon and own a bunch of t-shirts and coffee cups etc to keep you gents in gainful employ. Keep up the good work son.

[@ThatPedalShow]

Thank you SO much for all of that. I think people assume Dan and I are rich and all this stuff just comes easy to us. Be assured that the various revenue sources are what keeps TPS on the rails and we are massively grateful for it. More so that we seem to have cultivated a likeminded group of decent humans who are passionate about this stuff. It is truly humbling. Thank you!

@@ThatPedalShow I was a journalist for 10 years before moving into corporate (it was financial, FT-type stuff, but I really wanted to do either Guitarist mag working for Nev or a car one - “Maxpower” actually offered me a job). My guitar mates always say that you and Dan should record a show from my place if you ever come through Singapore - my place is a mini version of your current Schwangri-La room. So I know very well that you guys are working amazingly hard, hence owning lots of TPS merch. Massive respect for knocking on 250k subs (I assume you know that musicradar is doing a poll with you on it (Chris Buck flagged it last Friday)). You guys are a ray of sunshine in a gloomy landscape. Also huge props for your personal campaign on men’s mental health: people do notice and do appreciate it.

[@philipbrown2225]

How do you like your action ?" Well you know it's setup to play"

[@hawg427]

Hey Mick, I have seen players wrap their strings around their tailpiece that isn't cut for a wraparound. Doesn't this lead to excessive string slippage on the tailpiece?

[@ThatPedalShow]

+hawg427 Bonamassa does it like that. Quite a few people do (if you're talking about a regular tune o matic bridge and stop tailpiece set up). It enables you to screw the tailpiece all the way down (which people say is good for tone), and not have a very acute/potentially string snapping break angle over the saddles. It has a marginal effect on the perceived string tension too. Note I say 'perceived!' The tension of the strings remains exactly the same, but a little extra total string travel will increase the 'bendiness'/'slinkiness'/however you want to describe it. Tuning remains great if Bonamassa is anything to go by!

[@danielkreger528]

Where would one look to find yearly.differences between am vintage reissue 62.

[@ThatPedalShow]

Eh? Do you mean the differences between that age of reissues and the current ones? They’ve gone through two revisions since this one - 2012 ish saw them go very specific in terms of historical detail (mine would be closest to the 59), and then this year they’ve gone more general again. The last ones 2012-18 will be the best ‘new reissues’ they make outside of the custom shop for a while Cheers!

[@andrewt248]

I've swapped out the OE pickguard on every guitar (and bass) that I've owned that had one. The aesthetic of an instrument is one of the many reasons I want to pick it up and play it!

[@goodear1540]

5:35 is THE tone.

[@wellsyboy]

I have the first one - serial number 1 - it's the only guitar I would never part with and its true - if you have a DCS you don't need another pickup - it's weird and because you always think you'll need the neck but roll off the tone to 6 or so and you're good to go

[@Ganache30]

Hey Mic, lovely guitar, do you know what the scale length is? I know they've come in 24 and 3/4, 24 and 7/8, and 25. Cheers!

That’s a really good question. I don’t actually know! I should measure it - I’d always assumed it was proper Gibson scale, 24 7/8. Cheers!

[@colinnickelmusic5952]

All this talk of using 11's because 10's would be all over the place. I'm using 9's.... I must have left the place, bought a boat, and kept sailing.

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Colin Nickel Music It's a purely personal thing Colin. I have quite a heavy - you might say unrefined! - right hand. And left for that matter. I know plenty of people who get great control and stability out of 9s. Not me though! Thanks for watching!

[@colinnickelmusic5952]

I hear you, sometimes I go to dig in and am left wanting. Should string one of my guitars up (probably the Les Paul) with 11's and have a wack. Will need to dip my delicate finger tips in pure platinum and rhinoceros extract though. Love the show!

[@ThatPedalShow]

+Colin Nickel Music Worth a try, but It'l feel pretty stiff! One thing that has a big effect on me is that I play a lot of acoustic guitar. A very traditional guitar with 13s much of the time. You have to commit to it, and that spills over to my electric playing. Poor technique probably!

[@colinnickelmusic5952]

Very true, thanks for the tip. I've been playing 11's and nylon on my acoustics forever also. I think I just need to suck it up as I've been told there's extra tone in those meaty strings. I think they hide it near the left side. I'm no Eric Johnson's battery tester, but I imagine there is some difference. Your guy's playing is great though! Lots of dynamics and tone. Don't need to play fast to play well.

[@andyledger2307]

"Eric Johnson's battery tester" - love it!

I know very late on the comment here. But, after this video it's been very difficult to find a used one. Just bought one off Reverb, doghair, wraparound etc. Probably paid too much, but people are hoarding them now :-)
