Featuring a 15″ lower bout, 1 5/8″ depth, and hand-carved solid wood construction, the I-35 is a unique modern tribute to the heritage of the double cutaway semi-hollow electric guitar. The I-35’s design pairs a hollowed out mahogany body with a maple center block for a tonal response that is complex and quick with an “airy” character. The I-35’s carved maple top includes high arches and ample re-curve, allowing the best qualities of the solid wood to shine through in its amplified tone. An instrument that is at home in almost any genre, the Collings I-35 has quickly become one of our most popular electric models.

The I-35 Deluxe features a grained ivoroid-bound body, fingerboard, and peghead, along with our custom ivoroid top hat knobs, pickup rings, and truss rod cover.

The I-35 Deluxe bodies and tops are carved from solid mahogany and maple and feature a maple center block.  These solid wood models offer a clear, detailed, harmonically rich tone that shows off the acoustic characteristics of the tonewoods.
