Description

"Every day we try to make a better guitar, every day. You're trying to reach for more, trying to do better, not trying to do the same. A lot of companies are trying to do the same, and that's okay - that's their deal. We're trying to stretch that. Our goal is a little more." - Bill Collings

Like all Collings I-35 Deluxe models, this Tiger Eye finished beauty's playability and tones are exceptional. Take the best 335 you've played, mix in a bit of a Les Paul's punch and fatness, then kick every aspect of that guitar up a few notches and you'll start to get a sense of what these guitars are all about.

The build quality and design touches are just stunning. Extremely light for a 335 style guitar, this I-35 Deluxe is very resonant both acoustically and plugged in. You'd be hard pressed to find a guitar that's easier to play. The set-up and fretwork are perfect, which ultimately means this guitar has your back - anything you want to play, it's right there with you and doesn't fight you. Tonally these guitars capture all that we love about ES-335's, but with a little more punch, sustain, and less midrange mud.

Simply put, if you're looking for the best-of-the-best when it comes to an ES-335 style guitar - flawless build quality, finish work, set-up, tones, and looks, you'd be hard-pressed to do better! Priced with hardshell case by Ameritage.
