Sound Pure's Take

Conditon: Used, Excellent (one small ding on back, pictured)

From the moment you open the case and gaze upon this semi-hollow beauty, you know you're in for a treat. The candy apple finish will mesmerize you with its subtle complexities and you'll marvel at how balanced and lightweight the guitar feels in your hands. Fire up its pair of ThroBak humbuckers and revel in the wide range of tones that you're able to produce, from clean to crunch, chime to grime. This guitar sounds and feels every bit as amazing as it looks!

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.
