Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

The I-35 LC, in our humble opinion, is simply the most finely constructed laminate semi-hollow electric guitar day in and day out, full stop. The '50s neck carve feels perfect as always and the Lollar Imperials have that exceptional clarity we've come to expect.

SP Luthier Notes: Fret dress and sertup

From Collings Guitars

The I35 LC is the result of a custom laminated construction technique that Bill Collings and his R&D team developed in pursuit of the best tonal qualities of vintage semi-hollow guitar design. When crafting instruments designed to be used electrically at higher volumes, the resonant qualities of a guitar need a high degree of focus to achieve some of the classic semi-hollow guitar tones. The I35 LC is the first of a line of laminate instruments designed to respond acoustically in perfect harmony with their electronics. Custom crafted in house for each guitar, the Collings laminate line has provided another unique way for us to voice our instruments for superior response and tone. The I35 LC features a custom laminate maple top, sides and back and an all mahogany neck. The I35 LC is among our most articulate and versatile electric models.
