I’ve been lucky enough to play some very fine electric guitars, but in my mind there isn’t a finer semi-hollow guitar out there than the Collings I-35. The I-35 LC uses high quality laminate construction to faithfully reproduce the vintage tone of the original Gibsons. An outstanding guitar, with figured top and back, and mahogany neck with a long mortoise and tenon neck joint, maple center block, nitrocellulose lacquer finish, medium-fat C neck, 22 frets, 24 7/8 scale, bone nut, Lollar Imperial low-wind pickups, Kluson bridge and tailpiece and a beautiful faded cherry finish. They just don’t get any better. Lifetime warranty from Collings and a deluxe Ameritage hardshell case. Serial # I35LC262644 Collings sez: "The I-35 LC features a maple laminate top, sides, and back, the result of a custom-laminated construction process that Bill Collings and his R&D team developed in pursuit of the best tonal qualities of semi-hollow guitar design. Crafted to respond acoustically in perfect harmony with its electronics, the design and technique used for our “LC” models has provided another unique way for us to voice our instruments for superior response and tone." Condition: New; Body: Maple laminate; Neck: Mahogany, rosewood fretboard, 12 radius; Nut: 1 11/16; Color:faded cherry; Pickups: Lollar Imperial low-wind humbuckers; Scale: 24 7/8; Orientation: Lefthanded (of course) -
Condition:Excellent, light play wear; Body: 5-ply flame maple laminate; Neck: Maple, ebony fretboard; Nut: 1 3/4; Color: Sunburst; Pickups: Custom wound PAF style; Scale: 25.5; Orientation: Lefthanded (of course)Here's a rare left-handed 2017 Sadowsky LS-17 jazz guitar, in a beautiful sunburst with some gorgeous cross-hatched flame maple. Ebony fretboard, bridge and tail piece, with ivoroid neck binding and black hardware. Custom wound PAF style pickup. Big warm tone. I doubt there are many, if any, lefty examples in existence, and this one is in nice condition, a few small dings here and there and some light play wear, electronics work great, with original hardshell case. Sadowsky sez: "Designed for lovers of the classic “EL FIVE,” (Gibson L-5) the LS-17’s appeal lies in its 17″ wide body and 25 1/2″ scale length giving the player a big, warm sound. The thinner 2 3/4″ body makes the guitar much more comfortable to play and the 5-ply maple laminate construction helps reduce feedback. Ebony fretboard and one piece maple neck. The LS-17 is a roadworthy instrument, optimized for amplified playing. The Sadowsky LS-17. A jazz standard … redefined." -
Here is a brand new Collings 470 JL Julian Lage signature model, in a lightly aged antiqued sunburst finish. The guitar is a true hollowbody with trestle block construction, with a thin nitrocellulose lacquer hand-rubbed to a gently worn patina (no dings or dents). Pickups are Ron Ellis Ellisonic, and a Bigsby vibrato completes the vintage vibe. Marvelous instrument. Collings sez: "The success of the Collings OM1 JL combined with Julian Lage’s love of electric guitars meant a second Collings-Julian collaboration was inevitable. But following such a highly praised signature model with yet another meant leaving nothing on the table. From its organic beginnings, the process envisioned by both parties was something designed and built from the sound up. The Collings 470 JL is the result of years-long conversations, engineering, testing, tweaking, playing, and listening. And then doing it all over again until it was right. From first sketches through plugging in the final prototypes, every aspect of this model inside and out is the result of a unique approach, technique, and style - both from the builder’s and player’s point of view - culminating in a one-of-a-kind electric guitar experience. In collaboration with our friend Julian Lage, we proudly present the Collings 470 JL." Terrific guitar. Ameritage style hardshell case.

Here's a new Collings I-35 LC Vintage in aged jet black. I’ve been lucky enough to play some very fine electric guitars, but in my mind there isn’t a finer semi-hollow guitar out there than the Collings I-35. And now they've made it even better: Collings sez: "After several years in development and numerous prototype iterations, we are excited to introduce an I-35 like you've never experienced before — the new I-35 LC Vintage. Drawing inspiration from the best instruments of the 1960s, our newest offering in the I-35 lineup provides an exceptionally loose and organic feel, achieved through a ground up reworking of everything from its laminate and center block recipes to its neck construction. Custom Throbak pickups and Bumblebee capacitors bring its open, acoustic response to life, expanding its versatility and proving that, although it looks every bit the part of a time-tested instrument, its appeal is more than just skin deep." Semi-hollow construction: In order to achieve the loose feel and dynamic response of a long-played vintage instrument, we fully reengineered our laminate and center block recipes for the I-35 LC Vintage. Electronics: Era-appropriate while delivering clarity at every volume is a set of Throbak ESG-102B humbuckers tweaked to a custom Collings spec specifically for the I-35 LC Vintage, all complemented by a set of Luxe Bumblebee capacitors. Aged Finish and Hardware: Every I-35 LC Vintage sports our aged finish and aged hardware, an in-house developed process designed to give a truly time-worn look and feel. An altered truss rod curve and carefully chosen materials specific to the Vintage based on grain orientation, weight, and density are just a couple of the aspects that contribute to its expressive and organic feel and tone. Vintage Appointments: Gold or black reflector top knobs and a wide-bevel 3-ply pickgurard complement the aged finish and hardware and three vintage-inspired color options. They just don’t get any better. Lifetime warranty from Collings and a deluxe hardshell case. Serial # I35LC252475 Condition: New, aged; Body: Maple laminate; Neck: Mahogany, rosewood fretboard, 12 radius; Nut: 1 11/16; Color: Aged jet black; Pickups: Throbak; Scale: 24 7/8; Orientation: Lefthanded (of course)
