The Collings I-35 LC in Charcoal Frost is a beautifully refined semi-hollow electric guitar, thoughtfully built around a maple and spruce center block with a maple laminate body and maple laminate top. Its high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish brings an elegant depth to the Charcoal Frost color, while non-grained ivoroid binding outlines the body and rosewood fingerboard. The unbound F-holes preserve the understated character of the design, creating an instrument that feels both timeless and distinctly Collings.
The Honduran mahogany neck is joined to the body with an extra-long mortise and tenon joint, providing a solid foundation for the instrument's resonance and sustain. The 24 7/8 inch scale length, 1 11/16 inch nut width, and 12 inch radius rosewood fingerboard offer a comfortable and responsive playing feel. The fingerboard features 5mm non-tapered mother-of-pearl long dots and medium 18% nickel-silver frets, while the ebony peghead veneer, mother-of-pearl Collings logo, Haircut peghead profile, and nickel Gotoh tuners with Collings logos complete the refined presentation.
A pair of ThroBak SLE-101 Plus MXV pickups gives the I-35 LC its articulate, vintage-inspired voice, with 50s-style wiring providing an expressive range of tones and a beautifully interactive response from the controls. A Kluson ABR-1 bridge in nickel-plated zinc with retaining wire is paired with a Kluson stop tailpiece featuring nickel-plated zinc construction and steel studs. Amber or black top-hat knobs, cream or black pickup rings, and a Black/Cream/Black pickguard and truss rod cover allow the hardware details to complement the Charcoal Frost finish with subtle elegance.
Fitted with D'Addario NYXL1149 strings in .011 to .049 gauge, the I-35 LC is an exceptionally complete and carefully considered instrument, balancing semi-hollow warmth with clarity, sustain, and precision. Weighing 7 pounds 3 ounces, it offers a comfortable physical presence while retaining the authority and resonance expected from a center-block semi-hollow design. Supplied with a Deluxe Hardshell Case, this Charcoal Frost I-35 LC is a sophisticated expression of Collings craftsmanship, where traditional inspiration, exceptional materials, and meticulous construction come together in a guitar made to be played, heard, and treasured.
