The Collings I-35 Deluxe Caramel is a refined semi-hollow electric guitar that pairs classic architecture with meticulous modern craftsmanship. Built with a semi-hollow construction and Maple center block, the instrument features a Honduran Mahogany body topped with Premium Quilt Maple, finished in a luminous High Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer that brings the caramel tones and figured maple to life. Grained Ivoroid binding surrounds the body, fingerboard, and peghead, creating a warm, elegant contrast against the wood, while the unbound F-hole soundholes preserve the clean, understated character of the design. Measuring 17 5/8" in body length, 15" across the lower bout, and 1 5/8" in body depth, the I-35 has a graceful, balanced profile while weighing a comfortable 6 lbs 13 oz.

The Honduran Mahogany neck features Collings' Haircut peghead profile and an extra-long Mortise and Tenon neck joint for a secure connection and strong resonance. Its C shape profile measures .865" at the 1st fret and .967" at the 9th, with a 1 11/16" nut width and 24 7/8" scale length. The 12" radius Madagascar Rosewood fingerboard is bound in Grained Ivoroid and fitted with medium 18% Nickel-Silver frets and custom parallelogram inlays. The peghead is finished with an Ebony veneer, MOP Collings logo, and parallelogram inlay, while the Grained Ivoroid truss rod cover and Nickel Gotoh tuners with Collings logos add understated finishing touches.

A pair of Lollar Low Wind Imperial Humbucker pickups gives the I-35 Deluxe a beautifully balanced voice, offering clarity and articulation while retaining the warmth and depth expected from a premium semi-hollow design. The electronics feature DiMarzio 500K pots, Jupiter Vintage Yellow capacitors, and 50s style wiring, providing a responsive and organic control experience. Custom Grained Ivoroid pickup rings and Top Hat knobs continue the guitar's distinctive visual theme, while the Kluson ABR-1 bridge, featuring nickel-plated zinc construction and retaining wire, pairs with a Kluson Stop Tailpiece with nickel-plated zinc hardware and steel studs. The absence of a pickguard leaves the quilted maple top completely exposed, allowing the caramel finish and natural figuring to remain the centerpiece.

With its warm caramel appearance, deeply figured Premium Quilt Maple top, Honduran Mahogany construction, Madagascar Rosewood fingerboard, and carefully selected vintage-inspired appointments, the Collings I-35 Deluxe has an understated elegance that rewards close inspection. Every detail, from the Grained Ivoroid binding and custom inlays to the Lollar pickups, 50s style wiring, and Collings-branded hardware, reflects a deliberate approach to both tone and craftsmanship. Strung with D'Addario NYXL1149 strings in .011" to .049" gauges and measuring 40" in total length, this I-35 Deluxe is supplied with its Deluxe Hardshell Case, completing an instrument designed to deliver the character, feel, and refinement expected from a meticulously crafted Collings semi-hollow.
