Collings I-30LC Aged Natural w/ Throbak P90s

With some gold hardware for a little extra touch of class, this vintage-inspired I-30LC remains one of our favorite builds to date.

This Collings I-30LC in Aged Natural finish is one of our most vintage-inspired offerings in this model, blending aesthetics of early Kalamazoo-made Epiphone thinline electrics with the modern refinement and unbeatable playability of our favorite Austin TX builders.

The lightest electric build in the lineup, the I-30 is perhaps the most acoustically-charged electric of the bunch. With its slightly smaller 15" fully hollow trestle-braced laminated Maple body and trapeze tailpiece, it provides an impressive amount of acoustic volume and presence while adding a slightly more crisp note definition and punch.
Touch-sensitivity doesn't begin to describe just how these I-30s behave - delicate fingerstyle or flatpicking delivers a very sweet, round tonality, and a heavier handed approach will get the growl going at a remarkable clip. It's no surprise that these guitars excel in jazz and blues just as they do in a rock-based context, especially with the Throbak 52/54 P90 pickups.
