The Collings I-35 LC in Caramel is a masterfully crafted semi-hollow electric guitar that strikes the perfect balance between vintage warmth and modern precision. Built with a maple laminate body and top, this guitar resonates with rich, articulate tones while maintaining the controlled feedback resistance that makes it a dream for both stage and studio. At its heart lies a Honduran mahogany neck, providing a comfortable, buttery feel with a 24 7/8” scale length that encourages expressive playability. The rosewood fingerboard, adorned with medium 18% nickel-silver frets, offers effortless bends and fluid movement across its 12" radius, making it as inviting to the touch as it is visually stunning.

Aesthetically, the Caramel finish is nothing short of mesmerizing, enhanced by a high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer that brings out the deep hues and intricate wood grain beneath. The ungrained ivoroid binding on the body, fingerboard, and peghead adds a refined touch, complementing the guitar’s elegant curves. The haircut peghead, topped with a rosewood veneer and mother-of-pearl Collings logo, completes the vintage-inspired design with a distinctively classic look.

Sonically, the I-35 LC is a tonal powerhouse. Outfitted with Lollar Low Wind Imperial Humbuckers, it delivers articulate, dynamic tones with a clarity that sings through a mix. Paired with CTS 500K pots and Jupiter Vintage Yellow capacitors, the ’50s-style wiring ensures a smooth, organic response, allowing the player to shape their sound with precision. The Kluson ABR-1 bridge and Stop Tailpiece (both nickel-plated) provide rock-solid stability and sustain, making every note bloom with harmonic richness.

With Nickel Gotoh tuners, a 1 11/16” nut, and an extra-long mortise & tenon neck joint, this instrument is built for longevity and reliability. Weighing in at a comfortable 7 lbs 3 oz, it sits perfectly on the player, offering the resonance of a semi-hollow body without the heft of a full-size archtop. Housed in a deluxe hardshell case, the Collings I-35 LC in Caramel is more than just a guitar—it’s a refined, soulful instrument that bridges the gap between vintage inspiration and modern excellence.
