Description

Offered for your considerations is this marvelous Collings I-30 LC completed in 2021 and sold by the Music Emporium. This one-owner beauty has seen very limited play and is in near mint condition.

The I-30 LC is fully hollow uses laminate wood construction and has no center block. Instead, trestle bracing supports the top, the electronics and the controls mounted to it. Upgraded ThroBak Dog Ear P-90 pickups with phenolic covers are mounted to the top as well. The Mahogany neck is connected to the tail block via the internal bracing. A Collings trapeze tailpiece is attached to the guitar's tail block. It has a 24-7/8" string scale, a medium/chunky Mahogany neck with a 12" fingerboard radius and a 1-11/16" nut. It is finished in high gloss nitrocellulose lacquer. This wonderful instrument has a total weight of just 5.4 pounds and is perfectly balanced when strapped on.

Few brands can touch the consistent high quality of Collings-build instruments. This guitar feels and plays like it is carved from a single piece of wood, in the case, a very, very light weight piece of wood. It is an incredibly resonant instrument, with terrific sustain and an output that is sufficient for un-amplified playing. Plug it in and the P90's allow you get a clean tone that can be as smooth as silk. Crank it up for raunchy drive tones that are very LP-like. Being a fully hollow instrument, feedback at extremely high stage volumes is something to consider. Except for heavy metal perhaps, this would be an appropriate tool for most any music genre. Please check out the brief sound sample included for a taste of the tone of this exemplary instrument. It plays great too; few instruments can beat the playability of a well setup Collings instrument like this I-30.

This guitar remains in fantastic condition with no flaws of any significance save for a bit of very light haze on the pickguard. The frets show zero wear. It comes in its original Collings/Ameritage case, also in near mint condition, along with all the original paperwork.

These now have a list of $7.5K and are fairly difficult to find as all Collings electrics are in high demand. Get this near mint 2021 example for a cool grand $ less than new and you can get it today.
