Collings I-35 LC Vintage - Aged Faded Cherry

Unlike a standard I-35 LC, this Vintage version benefits from a complete overhaul: laminate, center block and neck design have been rethought to deliver a smoother feel and increased Resonance. The result is immediate under the fingers: a lively, responsive guitar, with an almost acoustic feel in response.

The Aged Faded Cherry finish, combined with Collings' proprietary relic treatment, adds a credible, elegant patina. The instrument gives the impression of having been played for decades, without going overboard. The aged hardware blends in perfectly, reinforcing this mastered aesthetic.

On the electronics side, the I-35 LC Vintage is equipped with Throbak ESG-102B pickups, renowned for their ability to capture the essence of vintage PAF humbuckers. The rendering is rich, dynamic, with open lows, singing mids and precise highs. Luxe Bumblebee capacitors complete the package with a progressive, musical response on the Tone controls.

Sonically, this Guitar stands out for its versatility and character. It excels both in clean, with beautiful aeration and remarkable definition, and in crunch, where it reveals dense, expressive harmonic complexity. All this with dynamics that respond finely to pick attack or finger picking.

The Collings I-35 LC Vintage is aimed at experienced guitarists and collectors looking for a high-end alternative to Classical semi-hollowars, with a finer, more artisanal approach and an assertive sonic identity.
