Sound Pure's Take

Yet another great I-35 from Collings! We've come to expect a certain level of quality and perfection from Collings and this guitar is no exception. Plugged in you get beastly, roaring tones flying out of the humbucking pickups, plus a quick neck lets you traverse the tonal range with speed, grace, and accuracy. 

This really is the pinnacle of guitars, folks!

From Collings Guitars

The I35 Deluxe combines our most premium features with the rich and harmonically complex sound of all solid wood construction. As part of its trim package, the dark textures of the I35 Deluxe's rosewood fingerboard and ebony faceplate are highlighted by ivoroid fingerboard and peghead binding. Each Deluxe series guitar is also fitted with ivoroid "top hat" knobs and pickup rings that are hand made in house solely for this series of instruments. Uncompromising in every feature, the I35 Deluxe is built for the discerning electric guitarist.
