Collings 290 SN#001 - very first 290 ever made

This isn't *yet* a typical FS listing because I'm only 95% sure that I'm selling this guitar; I'll need some pushing and encouragement and that could come if there's interest. In TV Yellow and essentially mint condition, it's the very first 290 Bill & Co. ever built, and you can immediately sens...
