This is a Collings I-35 Deluxe, semi-hollow guitar, with the Throbak humbucker pickups. It is the "Blonde" finish with a flame maple top. Its serial number indicates production in 2023.I purchased it new in November 2023. Unfortunately, the body is bigger than I can handle well. I should have tried the guitar out before buying, but you can't find these around where I live. So, I'm going to play my ES-339 and SG and let this beautiful guitar go to a better guitarist. I hate to have to give her up. My loss is your gain. Fortunately for the new owner, this guitar has barely been played, only for a little practice and has been stored in a humidity controlled room. The plastic is still on the pickup covers! It has never left the house. As you can see from the pictures, you'd be hard pressed to find any flaws in the guitar although there theoretically could be a swirl or pick mark here and there if you can find them. Hence I rated it "mint." The sturdy Collings / Ameritage hardshell case is like new, not a mark on it. The guitar comes with all case candy that came with the guitar, including the Thro-Bak guarantee card and the Collings registration card. Please carefully review the pictures and ask questions. If you want specific pictures please let me know. Please note: This is NOT an "I-35 LC" which is a different guitar. ;) See Collings' website for the differences among the models.You can buy one of these I-35 Deluxes new for $8,000 or more, or pick this one up for the reasonable price of $6995, including *free shipping.* Here are the specs from Collings:Construction Semi hollow w/ maple center blockBody Honduran mahoganyTop Premium flamed mapleNeck Honduran mahoganyBinding Grained ivoroidBridge Kluson ABR-1(nickel-plated zinc w/ retaining wire)Tailpiece Kluson Stop Tailpiece (nickel-plated zinc, steel studs)Fingerboard Rosewood w/ MOP dotsFingerboard Radius 12"Soundhole F-holes (unbound)Pickups Throbak Humbuckers w/ MXVPots/Caps DiMarzio 500K / Jupiter Vintage YellowKnobs Custom grained ivoroid top hatPickup Rings Custom grained ivoroidNut 1 11/16"Scale Length 24 7/8"Neck Joint Extra long mortise & tenonFrets Medium 18% nickel-silverPeghead Veneer Ebony w/ MOP Collings logoPeghead Profile HaircutTunersNickel Gotoh w/ Collings logoWiring 50s styleGuitar Finish High gloss nitrocellulose lacquerPickguard NoneTruss Rod Cover Grained ivoroidStrings D'Addario NYXL1149 (.011" - .049")Case Collings Deluxe hardshell case by Ameritage
