Personal Thoughts:
The I-35 LC has earned a reputation as one of the very finest semi-hollows available today, and this 2017 example in Faded Cherry Red shows exactly why. Built with Collings’ trademark precision, it combines the airy resonance of a laminated maple semi-hollow with the punch and sustain of a solid maple center block. The Honduran mahogany neck feels sublime in the hand, and the rosewood board provides warmth and smoothness under the fingers.
The real magic lies in the Throbak ESG-102B humbuckers paired with Luxe Bumblebee capacitors. Together, they deliver an exceptionally dynamic voice — from crystalline cleans to harmonically rich overdrive. This guitar has a clarity and balance that puts it in a league of its own, making it equally suited for blues, jazz, and rock.
The Faded Cherry Red finish, combined with Collings’ immaculate craftsmanship, makes this a timeless piece that bridges classic design and boutique execution.
