Seasoned electric players looking to expand their palette, or acoustic players looking for their first electric, will find a lot to like with the I-30LC.
Collings has simply nailed everything that makes the vintage ES-330s so great - light as air, perfectly balanced, killer acoustic tones 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.
You can access everything in-between those two extremes with ease. The Throbak 55/56 P90s are about as convincing a vintage-voiced pickup as you'll find on the market, and they work incredibly well in these guitars. Open, clear, and dynamic, with some great output that'll allow you to do virtually anything.
