Description

The Collings I-35 LC in Olive Drab is a masterclass in craftsmanship, seamlessly blending vintage aesthetics with modern precision. With its aged finish and hardware, this semi-hollow electric guitar exudes timeless elegance while delivering unparalleled tone and playability. The maple laminate body and top, paired with a spruce/maple center block, provide a rich, resonant sound with just the right balance of warmth and clarity. The Honduran mahogany neck, capped with a rosewood fingerboard adorned with mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays, ensures smooth playability and a touch of classic charm. Non-grained ivoroid binding on the body and fingerboard enhances its refined look, while unbound F-holes add a raw, vintage vibe.

Equipped with Lollar Low Wind Imperial Humbuckers, the I-35 LC offers dynamic, articulate tones, perfect for everything from blues to rock to jazz. The 50s-style wiring, DiMarzio 500K pots, and Jupiter Vintage Yellow caps ensure tonal versatility and responsiveness. A Bigsby tremolo tailpiece and Kluson ABR-1 bridge provide expressive vibrato and rock-solid intonation, complemented by nickel Gotoh tuners for precise tuning stability. The understated black top hat knobs, black pickup rings, and multi-layer black/cream accents on the pickguard and truss rod cover add subtle contrast to the Olive Drab finish.

From the haircut peghead with an ebony veneer and mother-of-pearl Collings logo to the medium nickel-silver frets, every detail speaks of Collings' dedication to quality. With a comfortable 12" fingerboard radius, a 24 7/8" scale length, and D'Addario NYXL strings, the I-35 LC is as delightful to play as it is to behold. This is not just a guitar—it’s a statement piece for discerning musicians who demand both exceptional tone and style.
