The Collings I-30 LC is a masterclass in electric guitar design, combining vintage inspiration with forward-thinking craftsmanship. With its fully hollow, double-cutaway maple laminate body and custom trestle bracing, the I-30 LC is lightweight, acoustically vibrant, and incredibly responsive. The trestle bracing not only enhances resonance and feedback resistance but also provides structural integrity that keeps the instrument focused and articulate in any musical setting.

Outfitted with Lollar Dog Ear P90s and 50s-style wiring, the I-30 LC delivers a tone that’s rich in vintage character with modern versatility. From smoky jazz textures to bright British Invasion chime, the tonal palette is expansive and expressive. The Honduran mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, and deluxe hardware—including a Collings trapeze tailpiece and Gotoh tuners—round out an instrument built for serious players who demand tonal depth, dynamic range, and premium build quality.

This 2023-built guitar is in excellent condition, with only minor pickguard scratches to show that it's ever played, with a beautifully tasteful light relic finish and aged hardware. It feels premium in every sense, and has all the glorious chime and sweet midrange of a perfect ES-330. It's rich, balanced and dynamic, with a little more bass and silkier trebles than it's Gibson counterparts. The slightly smaller body shape is comfortable and light, while still feeling substantial. Collings' electric guitars are the holy grail for many, and here's a stellar one! Includes original hardshell case.
