Collings I35LCV Blonde, 2022

Condition:
Straight out of a collection and in near mint condition this 2022 Collings Custom I-35 LC V is in the shop and looking for a new home. This 2022 blonde beauty is a near-mint guitar with no visible signs of playing wear. It's exceptionally lightweight (6.5 lbs) and wonderfully resonant

Collings stepped up their game with their new I35 LC Vintage model guitar. This was quite a challenge, considering the company already produces some of the finest ES-style semi-hollow guitars on the market. Immersed in the culture of quality and inspiration cultivated by Bill Collings, the company always strives to incorporate the very best into every Collings guitar. They left no stone unturned in their search for any hint of magic they could incorporate into the instrument. For these reasons, I continue to be genuinely impressed. In addition to being a joy to play (thanks to its impeccable quality) and hold (being ergonomic and lightweight), this guitar's sound captures the essence of a vintage guitar. The builders captured that throaty, dry, woody, and articulate vintage sound for you to enjoy now. To enhance the experience, they refined the neck profile and warmly aged the finish and hardware to elevate the vintage vibe. The I35LC Vintage, with its beautiful blonde finish, is a guitar that has already become a classic.

ABOUT COLLINGS GUITARS
Bill Collings moved from Ohio to Texas in the mid 1970’s. Spurred by a lack of interest in medical school, this move enabled him to combine lifelong interests in both guitars and tools into the challenge of stringed instrument building and repair. After a couple of years in Houston, several guitars and a few banjos later, he headed west to southern California. Making it only as far as Austin, where he shared shops with fellow luthiers Tom Ellis and Mike Stevens. From there, he set up his own small shop in a wooden "one car" garage. His reputation for outstanding quality and meticulous attention to detail quickly spread. In 1989, he rented a 1000 square foot space and hired two helpers. Fast forward to present day where Collings craftsmanship is respected by professional and amateur musicians alike…anyone on the quest for quality. Some of these include artists; Keith Richards, Lyle Lovett, Pete Townshend, Emmylou Harris, Andy Summers, David Crosby, Chris Hillman, Joni Mitchell, Don Felder, John Sebastian, Lou Reed, John Fogerty, Tim O'Brien, Pete Huttlinger, Kenny Smith, Brian May, Joan Baez, John Prine, Nigel Tufnel of Spinal Tap, and Steven Spielberg to name a few. You owe it to yourself to try one.
