I-35 vs I-35 LC

While both models share the same body dimensions and electronics, key differences are outlined below.

• The I-35 and 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.
• The I-35 LC and I-35 LC Deluxe bodies are built using our proprietary laminate construction (“LC”) formulas and techniques and feature a maple/spruce center block.  These laminate guitars produce a drier, woodier, and mid-forward tone characteristic of classic semi-hollow guitars.
