The Collings I-35 LC Deluxe in Dark Cherry Sunburst stands as a testament to Bill Collings’ uncompromising vision, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern precision to deliver an electric guitar of extraordinary refinement. Bill Collings, revered throughout the guitar world, carved out a reputation as one of the finest instrument builders of the modern era. His pursuit of perfection elevated boutique guitar building to an art form, setting new standards for fit, finish, and tonal sophistication. The I-35 LC Deluxe is a shining reflection of this legacy—an instrument that embodies his belief that every detail, no matter how small, matters.
This semi-hollow masterpiece is built with a figured maple laminate body and top, married to a solid maple center block that adds sustain and clarity while taming feedback. The Honduran mahogany neck, topped with a luxurious Madagascar Rosewood fingerboard bound in grained ivoroid, offers a silky, responsive playing feel. The extra-long mortise and tenon neck joint ensures superior resonance and structural integrity, a subtle but vital example of Collings’ dedication to detail. The classic f-holes, left unbound, lend the guitar an understated elegance while honoring vintage archtop tradition.
Under the high gloss nitrocellulose lacquer in a lush Dark Cherry Sunburst, the wood’s figuring shimmers with depth and warmth, inviting closer inspection. Premium appointments—grained ivoroid binding on the body, fingerboard, and peghead; custom ivoroid top hat knobs and pickup rings; and Collings’ signature “Haircut” peghead profile—combine to create a look that’s both timeless and distinctly refined.
Tonally, the I-35 LC Deluxe is a study in articulate, versatile semi-hollow voice. The Lollar Low Wind Imperial humbuckers yield a nuanced balance of warmth and clarity, delivering chimey cleans, rich midrange growl, and a singing sustain that rewards dynamic playing. Vintage-inspired electronics, including DiMarzio 500K pots and Jupiter Vintage Yellow capacitors wired in the revered 50s style, ensure that every subtlety of the pickups translates seamlessly through your amplifier.
Practical details like the nickel-plated Kluson ABR-1 bridge, stop tailpiece, and Gotoh tuners with Collings’ engraved logo and small ivoroid buttons round out the hardware, offering precise intonation and rock-solid tuning stability. At just over 7 pounds, the I-35 LC Deluxe is perfectly balanced on the strap or lap, making it a joy to play for hours on end.
Cradled in its deluxe hardshell case, this I-35 LC Deluxe isn’t just a guitar—it’s a tribute to Bill Collings’ enduring legacy. Each note it produces carries with it the echoes of his relentless quest for sonic and aesthetic perfection, inspiring players to reach for their best. For those who appreciate the marriage of vintage vibe, masterful craftsmanship, and modern playability, the I-35 LC Deluxe in Dark Cherry Sunburst is a peerless choice.
