2021 Collings I-35 LC Deluxe Iced Tea
Offered here is easily one of the best and most popular semi-hollow electrics on the market right now, a Collings I-35, more specifically, an I-35 LC Deluxe built in 2021.
Being an 'LC' (laminated construction) model I-35 this instrument has a laminated Maple body, which many players prefer because it is said that the laminated version resists feedback a bit better and has a more focused tone. This beauty was given an Iced Tea nitro lacquer finish and it has a total weight of just 7.0 pounds! This LC Deluxe gets lots of added 'bling', including grained ivoroid binding on the body, neck and headstock and very nice ivoroid controls and truss rod cover. It has a 24-7/8" string scale mahogany neck with a medium/fat C-shape with depth measurements of .865" at the first fret and .955" at the twelfth fret. The ebony fretboard has a 12" radius, a 1-11/16" nut and medium frets. The electronics on this guitar consist of Lollar Low Wind humbuckers with DiMarzio 500K pots, Jupiter Vintage Yellow caps and a 50's style wiring setups. The bridge is a Gotoh ABR-1 and the tuners are Gotohs with ivoroid buttons. This is one killer-looking instrument!
Play this guitar and you quickly recognize that it plays even better than it looks. While based on the Gibson ES formula, it has been built with a consistent precision that seemingly no other builder has been able to duplicate. Like virtually all the instruments Collings builds, this I-35 feels like it was carved from a single piece of wood. The playability bests most any other semi-hollow guitar you can find regardless of price. It sounds fabulous too; please check out the brief sound sample included below.
This guitar is in near mint condition and has no flaws of any significance and the frets look like new too! The case is near mint as well and the original paperwork is included.
