2020 Collings I-30 LC Hollowbody Electric Guitar

Overview: True to the company's nature, Collings really thought this instrument out. They started with a, "let's make an ES-330" idea, shrunk the body a bit in width, gave it ES-335-style neck access, built it to an incredibly high spec, and fit a small, Gretsch-style trustle/soundpost just under the bridge area. It's a hollowbody but that last addition helps negate feedback a bit and the narrower body and extra fret access makes it absurdly-fun to hold and play.

So, yes, if the intention was to make a "best in class" 330-style guitar, then they win. This one is almost unplayed and without any wear that I can find that looks more than, say, that "it was hanging in a store for a bit." It's a gorgeous guitar and there's just enough small lacquer checking here and there to give it a dignified look.

Repairs included: All I did was tweak the truss rod a tiny bit and it was ready to put out on the floor. It's playing spot-on and ready to go
