With a 15" lower bout the I-35 LC is an elegant modern tribute to the heritage of the double cutaway semi-hollow electric guitar. The I-35's design pairs laminated, figured maple top and back with a maple center center block for a tonal response that is complex and quick, with an "airy" character. An instrument that is at home in almost any genre, the Collings I35 has quickly become one of our most popular electric models.
