About this listing
This stunning Collings I-35 LC Vintage features an aged Tobacco Sunburst and a pair of Throback ESG-102B pickups for classic tones!
Drawing inspiration from the best instruments of the 1960s, our latest offering in the I-35 lineup provides an exceptionally loose and organic feel, achieved through a ground up reworking of everything from its laminate and center block recipes to its neck construction. Custom Throbak pickups, Luxe Bumblebee capacitors, and our proprietary aged finish and hardware process bring its open, acoustic response to life, expanding its versatility and proving that, although it looks every bit the part of a time-tested instrument, its appeal is more than just skin deep.
I-35 LC vs I-35 LC Vintage
While both models share the same body dimensions, key differences are outlined below.
The I-35 LC features our standard laminate construction and center block formulas, neck design, and electronics, including Lollar Low Wind Imperial humbuckers (standard), Jupiter Vintage Yellow capacitors, and non-aged finish and hardware (standard). Non-“Vintage” I-35 and I-35 LC models are available with a wide variety of custom options.
The I-35 LC Vintage features unique laminate construction / center block formulas and redesigned neck, all designed to provide a looser, more vintage-inspired tone and response. Adding to that character, it also features custom Throbak ESG-102B humbuckers and Luxe Bumblebee capacitors, plus our aged finish and hardware treatment. In keeping with the vision for this model, our I-35 LC Vintage is available with very limited custom options.
