Sound Pure's Take
Holy cow, you'll have to see this one in person to really believe how beautiful that top is, Collings knocks it out of the park again with this stunner! The I-35 is one of our favorite models due to the fantastic playability and beautiful tones. These extremely versatile guitars can crank it with the rest of them but also have the warmth to cover any jazz gig.
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.
