Some things are better in pairs. With a double-cutaway mahogany body and dual hand-wound P90 pickups from Jason Lollar, the 290® DC® offers unhindered access to the upper frets and a wide range of tonal possibilities. From pristine clean tones with rich harmonic complexity to hard-hitting classic rock sounds, there are few styles the 290® DC® cannot cover. To further the guitar’s vintage-inspired tone and aesthetic, we’ve also made available an optional MojoAxe CWT or Schaller Signum wraparound tailpiece.
290® vs 290® DC
While both models feature the same standard appointments, the 290® is a single-cutaway body, while the 290® DC features a double cutaway. Due to the design of the neck joint, the DC version’s neck pickup is shifted more toward the bridge than the single cutaway version. This results in a neck pickup tone that is less bass-heavy with extra clarity compared to the non-DC version. The standard 290® offers a fuller voice in the neck position, although both models are surprisingly dynamic and articulate.
290® DC vs 290® DC S
The only difference between the 290® DC and 290® DC S are that the “S” version features a single bridge pickup with one volume and one tone knob, along with no pickup selector switch. They otherwise share the same body size, shape, scale length, electronics, and standard appointments.
