Mint and literally new, unplayed Collings I-35 in Black with ThroBak 70/Select T-Top pickups.
A beautiful example of Collings craftsmanship in 2019.
The guitar was bought new from SoundPure, one of the most important Collings dealers in USA and features the rare ThroBak 70/Select T-Top pickups.
ThroBak '70/Select pickups were made with one goal in mind: to re-create the unique resonance of the early ‘70's T-Top pickups that have become part of the tonal fabric of some of the most famous rock and blues recordings of the 1970's. Players like Angus Young of AC/DC, Jimmy Page and B.B. King have made some of their most iconic live and studio recordings with the early '70's vintage Patent Sticker T-Top pickup. Guitars with these early Patent Sticker T-Tops were built for a short period, but the timeless tones they created changed rock and blues history. You can hear these early T-top tones in AC/DC recordings from "Let There Be Rock" through "Highway to Hell" and beyond. Jimmy Page in the "Song Remains The Same" and B.B. King "Live In Africa" also showcase the power, warmth and nuance of these early vintage T-Top pickups.
