Collings I35-LC Olive Drab Bigsby w/case I35LC252536

Serial: I35LC252536
Weight: 7 lbs 8.5 oz

The Collings I-35 LC is one of the most refined semi-hollow electric platforms available today, built with an obsessive level of precision and consistency that defines everything Collings does. This example pairs that foundation with a Bigsby vibrato and Lollar humbuckers, delivering a guitar that balances vintage-inspired tone with modern clarity and control.

The I-35 LC features Collings’ proprietary laminate maple construction with a maple/spruce center block, designed to produce a more focused, woody, and mid-forward voice compared to traditional carved semi-hollows. The result is a guitar that stays articulate under gain while still offering the warmth and air you expect from a semi-hollow design.

A Honduran mahogany neck paired with a rosewood fingerboard provides a smooth, familiar feel, while the 24 7/8" scale length and 12" radius strike an ideal balance between comfort and precision. The neck profile is a comfortable C shape that feels substantial without getting in the way, making it equally suited for chord work and lead playing.

The Lollar Low Wind Imperial humbuckers are a perfect match for this platform — open, dynamic, and incredibly touch-sensitive. They retain clarity even when pushed, with a slightly drier response that complements the LC construction. Wired with 50s-style controls and high-quality components, the guitar responds naturally to volume and tone adjustments.

The addition of a Bigsby vibrato expands the instrument’s expressive range, allowing for subtle movement and texture without compromising tuning stability. Combined with Collings’ exceptional build quality, this is a semi-hollow that feels alive in your hands and stays consistent in any setting.
