Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
SP Luthier Notes: The frets needed polishing, and were polished. Some of the frets were coming out of the fretboard, and our luthier reseated them and glued them into place. No further work was required.
The wait is finally over, the I-35 LC Vintage is here. The entire I-35 series have long been shop favorites here at Sound Pure, and the LC Vintage represents yet another master stroke from Collings. With perfect, period-correct looks and iconic late PAF-style snarl, acoustic clarity, and rich fullness, these guitars will take you back to the golden age and everywhere else you could want to go!
From Collings Guitars
After several years in development and numerous prototype iterations, we are excited to introduce an I-35 like you've never experienced before — the new I-35 LC Vintage.
Drawing inspiration from the best instruments of the 1960s, our newest 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 and Bumblebee capacitors 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.
