Bill determined that—when crafting electric instruments designed to be used at higher volumes—the resonant qualities of a guitar need a high degree of focus to achieve the classic semi-hollow guitar tones we all love from sought-after vintage examples. After years of refining the design, Collings is able to produce \u003c\/span\u003elaminate instruments that respond acoustically in perfect harmony with their electronics. The specific laminate construction is customized for each model, and it allows Collings to optimize the \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003evoice of their instruments for superior response and tone. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Collings I-35 LC is an articulate, dynamic—and impressively versatile—electric guitar. Despite the laminate construction, its semi-hollow design retains impressive natural acoustic resonance, which translates nicely into its electric tone. For pickups, Collings looks to Jason Lollar and is crew in Tacoma, Wa., for custom-wound humbuckers that fit the model perfectly. The I-35 LC uses low-wind Imperial Humbuckers with brighter tonality than standard, lending the guitar exceptional definition and touch response. These pickups communicate the guitar's natural harmonic content beautifully. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBecause each Collings guitar is essentially a custom-made instrument (where we have the opportunity to pick, choose, and fuss over every single spec), we like to order Collings electrics inspired by some of our favorite vintage guitars. This I-35 LC pays homage to an incredible 1961 semi-hollow original we had a few years ago. It features a gorgeous Faded Cherry finish, which sets off with the subtle patina of the non-grained ivoroid binding. For hardware, it has a Bigsby vibrato tailpiece and a Kluson ABR-1 bridge. We also specified the '60s Neck carve option, which is slightly slimmer than the standard \"Full C\" profile. Make no mistake, it's still a substantial neck—not a toothpick—but it is comfortable and fast. If you're familiar with the old ones, it feels closer to the early '60s spec than the standard Collings profile.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: Semi-hollow w\/ maple center block\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: Maple laminate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop: Maple laminate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck: Honduran Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Faded Cherry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody \u0026amp; Fingerboard Binding: Non-grained ivoroid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeghead binding: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeghead Veneer: Stained Ebony w\/ Mother-of-Pearl Collings logo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard: Solid Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Inlays: 5mm Mother-of-Pearl dots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Radius: 12\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrets: Medium 18% nickel-silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Profile: '60s carve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 24-7\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut: Bone, 1-11\/16\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKluson ABR-1(nickel-plated zinc w\/ retaining wire)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTailpiece: Bigsby B7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWiring: '50s Style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickups: Lollar Low Wind Imperial Humbuckers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePots\/Caps: \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDiMarzio 500K \/ Jupiter Vintage Yellow\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnobs: Black top hat bell reflector knobs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickup Rings: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: Black\/Cream\/Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Collings I-35 LC (serial #201464) is a next-level electric guitar designed for a musician who wants to take vintage tone to higher level.
