2018 Collings I-35 Deluxe Quilt Top with ThroBaks Iced Tea
Offered is yet another, fabulous Collings I-35 Deluxe for your consideration. The I-35 is perhaps the very best semi-hollow electric guitar being made and the Deluxe is the top of the I-35 food chain.
The I-35 Deluxe has a solid (not laminated) premium quilted Maple top with binding and optional purfling over a semi-hollow Mahogany body. The neck is Collings medium/fat C-shape, measuring .865" at the first fret, increasing to .985" at the twelfth fret. It has a Rosewood fingerboard with a 12" radius and upgraded MOP parallelogram inlays and a 1-11/16" bone nut. This guitar has upgraded and highly sought-after ThroBak humbuckers which many consider the best in the business. This guitar has an Iced Tea nitrocellulose finish and weighs just 7.0 pounds!
These I-35's are a joy to look at, play and listen to. I don't know how Collings does it, but each of their I-35 models plays like it was carved from a single block of wood. This guitar in particular is light and resonant, with a voice that puts any ES-335 to shame (IMHO). Please check out the brief sound sample included herein. No matter what style of music you play, this guitar is a worthy tool for your creativity.
This guitar could pass for new. It is in near mint condition with no flaws of any significance and the frets are spotless. It comes in it's original Ameritage case, which also looks like new.
A new I-35 Deluxe with the specs on this guitar (upgraded quilt top, purfling, fingerboard inlays and pickups) will cost you well over $7K these days. Get this near mint 2018 example in near new condition for thousands less. An exemplary semi-hollow electric. Make it yours!
