Sound Pure's Take
Conditon: Used, Excellent
Excellence embodied in every conceivable way! The solid spruce top on these models just takes them to an incredible next level in terms of truly organic, rich tone and a baseline lyricism and musicality that seems to spring out of the guitar, no matter what you're playing. The finish and condition on this one in particular are just jaw-dropping. If you're looking for a 335 style with unusually high levels of soul, an archtop built for speed and dependability, or just a top shelf semi hollow that's sure to keep the competition locked quietly in their cases, look no further!
SP Luthier Notes: Setup
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.
