Expanding on the popularity of the I-35 LC, we now offer our deluxe ivoroid fingerboard and peghead binding and ivoroid "top hat" knobs and pickup rings on the I-35 LC Deluxe. Comprised of both our in-house custom laminate recipe and our handmade ivoroid appointments, this guitar is truly a unique Collings creation. With a balanced and articulate tone due to its laminate construction, the I-35 LC Deluxe now offers a strikingly elegant appearance to match its great sound.
This one has a bevy of custom features including an ebony fretboard with custom inlay pattern and Jescar stainless steel frets, aged finish and hardware, Ron Ellis Signature humbuckers, and tortoise pickguard/binding/knobs.
