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 [...]

*** ON HOLD *** Here is a left-handed Waterloo by Collings WL-14, X-braced, in their special "boot burst" finish, with the optional "moderate" neck carve -- which is still a fairly good sized neck.
