$7,450.00

Details

Collings' goal for the I-30 LC was to take the concept of a double cutaway, fully-hollow, P90-equipped guitar and refine it to the extent that it offers something truly new for today’s players. The result is one of the most acoustically responsive and versatile electric guitars they have ever offered.

The lightweight “trestle-braced” body of the I-30 LC has been developed through extensive R&D and is the distillation of knowledge gleaned from Collings' popular I-35 LC and Statesman LC. The trestle brace design directly couples the neck and tail block, creating exceptional strength and acoustical energy transference, while also allowing for a lightness and responsiveness that is both a tactile and musical joy to experience.

Playing the I-30 LC, you can easily feel the acoustic energy travel through the symmetric arches and re-curves of the top and back. These plates have been custom laminated and voiced for a tonality that is acoustic guitar-like in its resonance and dynamic response, but focused and feedback resistant enough to be utilized in jazz, blues, rock n’ roll, and other styles. Collings' new custom-designed trapeze tailpiece provides just the right amount of “give” for a relaxed string feel and effortless playability.
