A nice example of Collings’ impeccable craftsmanship, this 2020 I-35 LC Aged in Black delivers the perfect fusion of semi-hollow warmth, articulate clarity, and vintage-inspired character. Handcrafted in Austin, Texas, this model showcases why Collings guitars are considered among the very best modern instruments available today.
This one is a one owner guitar and is in near MINT condition.
The laminated maple body and solid maple center block provide exceptional resonance and sustain while controlling feedback — striking the ideal balance between airy semi-hollow tone and solidbody focus. The aged nitrocellulose lacquer finish gives it the look and feel of a well-loved vintage instrument, with subtle checking and patina that make it feel instantly familiar.
The mahogany neck features a comfortable C-shaped profile and a rosewood fingerboard with medium-jumbo frets, offering effortless playability and smooth bending across the board. Loaded with a pair of Throbak ESG-102B humbuckers, the tone is rich, dynamic, and beautifully balanced — from clear, open cleans to creamy overdrive with vintage PAF-style sweetness.
Every detail — from the hand-set neck joint to the aged hardware and Collings’ flawless fit and finish — speaks to master-level craftsmanship. The I-35 LC is a benchmark semi-hollow guitar that plays as beautifully as it looks.
