Collings I-35 LC Vintage 'Aged Blonde' Preowned

The Collings I-35 LC Vintage Aged Blonde captures the spirit of the finest semi-hollow electrics of the 1960s with unmatched craftsmanship and tonal sophistication. After years of development, Collings re-engineered every detail—from the laminate formula to the center block design—to deliver a looser, more organic feel while retaining the clarity and balance that made the I-35 iconic.

Outfitted with hand-wound Throbak ESG-102B pickups and Luxe Bumblebee capacitors, this instrument produces a wide-open, harmonically rich response that excels at everything from warm jazz tones to biting rock leads. A Honduran mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, and aged nitrocellulose lacquer finish combine to create a vintage look, feel, and resonance, while the deluxe Ameritage hardshell case ensures safe transport. This I-35 LC Vintage is more than an homage—it’s a world-class semi-hollow for discerning players.

This preowned guitar is in perfect condition, with subtle factory aging and an incredible, ultra-thin nitrocellulose finish. Collings are renowned for their superior build quality, incredible playability and flawless attention to detail, and this is a killer example. The Throbak pickups are dripping with vintage tone and character, and it plays wonderfully with a slinky, buzz-free action. If you've been looking for the ultimate modern 335-style guitar, you simply will not find a better feeling or sounding one! Includes original hardshell case.
