Collings I-35 LC Vintage, Tobacco Sunburst

This is what the team at Collings have to say about this new for 2021 traditionally inspired and voiced Maple 35 LC Vintage guitar with Semi hollow construction and intuitive 24 7/8" scale. After several years in development and numerous prototype iterations, Collings 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.
