This is a treat – a Collings I35 LC Deluxe thinline archtop electric in a traditional sunburst, one of the best renderings of this concept available. This model draws from the iconic and once revolutionary Gibson ES-335 series, with a Maple laminate body around a Maple center block, and Mahogany neck with Indian Rosewood fingerboard. It’s wired using a 1950’s style layout, with a pair of Lollar Imperial Low-Wind humbuckers.
This Collings I35 LC Deluxe example was built during 2015 at the Collings shop in Austin, Texas. It is in all original, very good condition. While it’s been played, wear is light.
The excellent original hard shell case, built and branded for Collings by Ameritage, is included. Ameritage builds some of the finest cases available and are used by many high end and boutique builders.
More From The Builder On The Collings I35 LC Deluxe:
“Expanding on the popularity of the I-35 LC, we now offer our deluxe ivoroid fingerboard and peghead binding and ivoroid “top hat” knobs and pickup rings on the I-35 LC Deluxe. Comprised of both our in-house custom laminate recipe and our handmade ivoroid appointments, this guitar is truly a
unique Collings creation. With a balanced and articulate tone due to its laminate construction, the I-35 LC Deluxe now offers a strikingly elegant appearance to match its great sound.”
