From Collings Guitars
Drawing inspiration from the best instruments of the 1960s, our latest offering in the I-35 lineup provides an exceptionally loose and organic feel, achieved through a ground up reworking of everything from its laminate and center block recipes to its neck construction. Custom Throbak pickups, Luxe Bumblebee capacitors, and our proprietary aged finish and hardware process bring its open, acoustic response to life, expanding its versatility and proving that, although it looks every bit the part of a time-tested instrument, its appeal is more than just skin deep.
