This I-35LC features Collings' 'aged' finish package. The nickel parts show light oxidation, and the finish is crackled and buffed to a medium lustre.
The I-35 LC features a maple laminate top, sides, and back, the result of a custom-laminated construction process that Bill Collings and his R&D team developed in pursuit of the best tonal qualities of semi-hollow guitar design. Crafted to respond acoustically in perfect harmony with its electronics, the design and technique used for our “LC” models has provided another unique way for us to voice our instruments for superior response and tone.
