The Collings I-35 Deluxe in Mermaid Blue is a beautifully crafted semi-hollow electric guitar that pairs timeless design with exceptional attention to detail. Its premium quilted maple top showcases a striking natural pattern beneath the high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, complemented by a Honduran mahogany body and maple center block for a balanced blend of resonance, sustain, and tonal focus. Grained ivoroid binding and unbound F-holes add understated elegance, while its vibrant finish gives this instrument a distinctive presence. Weighing just 7 lb 4 oz, it offers an inviting balance of comfort and refinement.
The Honduran mahogany neck features an extra-long mortise-and-tenon joint, a rosewood fingerboard with mother-of-pearl long dot inlays, a comfortable 12-inch radius, and medium 18% nickel-silver frets. Its 24 7/8-inch scale length provides a smooth, responsive playing feel, while the ebony peghead veneer, mother-of-pearl Collings logo, distinctive haircut profile, and nickel Gotoh tuners complete its sophisticated appearance. Grained ivoroid appointments throughout create a cohesive, meticulously finished aesthetic.
A pair of Lollar Low Wind Imperial humbuckers delivers an articulate, expressive voice, from warm, open cleans to rich, harmonically complex overdrive. CTS 500K pots, Jupiter Vintage Yellow capacitors, and 1950s-style wiring preserve dynamic response and tonal nuance. The Kluson ABR-1 bridge and stop tailpiece provide dependable performance, while custom grained ivoroid top-hat knobs and pickup rings complement the guitar's elegant detailing.
Finished with D'Addario NYXL strings in .011 to .049 gauge and supplied with a deluxe hardshell case, the Collings I-35 Deluxe combines exquisite visual character with versatile musical expression. With its quilted maple top, distinctive Mermaid Blue finish, and refined semi-hollow voice, this instrument is an exceptional choice for players who value precision craftsmanship, effortless playability, and enduring elegance.
