Sound Pure's Take
Weight: 7.15 lbs.
The Collings name has become synonymous with a dedication to high-quality instruments and this guitar is a prime example of that dedication. Your hand glides effortlessly over the rosewood fingerboard and the body contour feels like it was made just for you. The tones that you can easily coax out of its ThroBak MVX pickups are nothing short of legendary. The aged faded cherry finish and hardware add an extra level of class and refinement. Get your hands on this baby and see why Collings is one of the very best!
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.
