This Collings is new with very an excellent aged finish from the team in Austin, TX. The guitar is a perfect size, just a bit smaller than an ES-335, and is versatile and light. Collings has a gem here in their Vintage finished instruments, bragging a lightly checked and brushed finish. This guitar plays and sounds like a dream.
"After several years in development and numerous prototype iterations, we are excited to introduce an I-35 like you've never experienced before — the new I-35 LC Vintage.
Drawing inspiration from the best instruments of the 1960s, our newest offering in the I-35 lineup provides an exceptionally loose and organic feel, achieved through a ground up reworking of
everything from its laminate and center block recipes to its neck construction. Custom Throbak pickups and Bumblebee capacitors bring its open, acoustic response to life, expanding its versatility and proving that, although it looks every bit the part of a time-tested instrument, its appeal is more than just skin deep."
Comes with original hard case.
