All of the things that make vintage Gibson ES-330s so great - light as air, perfectly balanced, killer acoustic tones and plugged in tones - have been perfected by Collings and their I-30 LC.
The I-30 LC from our friends at Collings Guitars are light as air, perfectly balanced, and possess killer acoustic and plugged in tones. Want to sound like Grant Green? Use the neck pickup, roll back the tone knob a touch, done. Les Paul snarl and bite? Bridge pickup, crank your amp, smile. Done. All with a little extra snarl, thanks to these fantastic sounding Throbak P90 pickups.
Like all Collings guitars, the build, fit-finish, setup, playability, and tones are perfect. And we're not just trying to take the easy way out with describing these guitars. One of the biggest attributes that set Collings guitars apart in the market is their ultra high standards, consistency of build, and unwavering perfectionism. It's truly hard to find fault with them.
In truth, we're not sure what else you could possibly want from a guitar of this style. Collings has gotten incredibly close to that vintage ES-330 magic - simply amazing!

Brand Story
"Every day we try to make a better guitar, every day. You're trying to reach for more, trying to do better, not trying to do the same. A lot of companies are trying to do the same, and that's okay - that's their deal. We're trying to stretch that. Our goal is a little more."
