Think of this as the Rolls Royce of 335 style guitars. It feels familiar, but premium, polished and a league above anything you might have played before. Bill Collings spent years chasing the elusive sweet spot of the great vintage semi-hollows, that warm, blooming resonance that somehow stays focused and clear even when the volume goes up. The result is this: a custom laminate maple body with a centre block, an all-mahogany neck with a gorgeous 60s profile. Finished in a stunning Dark Cherry Sunburst with high gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, this is a guitar that sounds as good as it looks.

The I35 LC is the first of a line of laminate instruments designed to respond acoustically in perfect harmony with their electronics. Custom crafted in house for each guitar, the Collings laminate line has provided another unique way for us to voice our instruments for superior response and tone. The I35 LC is among our most articulate and versatile electric models.
