Collings I-35 Reviewed

Relic Battle Royale: Fender Road Worn relic vs. Vintage ’58 Fender vs. new Seuf OF-20 relic

We’ve already done a Fender Road Worn review and there’s been a lot of talk about how they compare with other relic jobs.

We’re a Nash dealer too, but we haven’t got any in stock today. We played each of the guitars through a Dr. Z Carmen Ghia and Eric, John, Jason and shop manager Mike went a round with each guitar. The winner? Well, depends on who you ask.

Jason: The sound on this is the best of all three – the bridge pickup…it has the most body, most bite. The neck pickup is Continue Reading →
