Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
The addition of TV Jones Filter'Tron humbuckers adds wonderful clarity, note separation, and extra air around each passage you play while retaining everything we love about Collings' design. This guitar will make a wonderful addition to your arsenal when the more standard humbuckers just aren't cutting it!

From Collings Guitars
The I-35 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 I-35 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 I-35 LC features a custom laminate maple top, sides and back and an all mahogany neck. The I-35 LC is among our most articulate and versatile electric models.
