Sound Pure's Take
The Collings I-30 LC in Iced Tea Sunburst is a stunning fusion of classic hollow-body charm and Collings’ trademark precision. Built with a fully hollow maple laminate body and parallel trestle bracing, it delivers that lively, resonant punch players crave — full of air, warmth, and vintage-style bite. The Lollar Dog Ear P90 pickups, wired in true ’50s style, capture everything from shimmering cleans to raw, soulful grit with effortless clarity. Honduran mahogany lends the neck a luxurious feel, while the rosewood fingerboard with mother-of-pearl inlays ensures smooth playability and timeless beauty. Every curve and component, from the nickel-plated Kluson bridge to the Collings trapeze tailpiece, reflects a balance of elegance and endurance.
