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

We're huge fans of the I-35LC model with its flawless build quality, playability, and tones. Hard to want more in a semi-hollow body guitar, truthfully. 

Collings has nailed what makes an ES-335 style guitar great - namely, the feel. The necks are exactly what you'd want in a guitar like this and remind us of what a vintage 335 feels like. The 60's neck carve on this guitar is perfect for those looking for a slightly less chunky neck profile (the 60's carve measures .83-.92" vs the standard '59 carve's .86"-.98").

Tones? Beautiful. Clean and overdriven, this is as good as it gets for a semi-hollow. All the open, airy, biting, warm, fat tones you could ever want. Contradictory terms you say? Nope, semi-hollows are known for their versatility and can truly cover all that ground with ease thanks to a killer sounding set of Lollar Imperial low-wind humbuckers 

These 60's neck I-35 LC's tend to be a bit more rare so don't let this one pass you by! Priced with hard case by Ameritage.
