TME Vlogs, Episode 6: Collings I-35LC "Vintage"
Our latest shop vlog features TME staff member, Dan King, introducing the new-for-2021 I-35LC "Vintage" from Collings Guitars. A new take on their now-classic semi hollow design, the I-35LC "Vintage" does for the Collings electric lineup what the "Traditional" models did for their acoustic guitars. Different laminate formula. Different center block formula. Aged Finish. Different ThroBak pickups. OK, but how does it sound? Take it away, Duke Levine!
I prefer the new Vintage model. Has the right sort of mids, like a human voice .
Both sound great of course.
If they were amps, the Vintage is Tweed and Standard version is Blackface
I honestly can’t hear any difference. Its all in the hands (almost) (sorta of). In this case, very talented hands.
Tastefully melodic playing. The Vintage version seems to have more open voice, more air around the notes. The standard version sounded like it has more midrange drive and fuller bottom. Wonder how Duke felt as he played them?
