The CJ is Collings’ version of the classic slope-shouldered dreadnought. Huge on tone and clarity it’s been the choice of many a stage musician. While the CJ is similar in width and depth to the traditional dreadnought, it has a distinctly different tone. Despite its large size this model works well with the custom shorter string scale, resulting in a somewhat percussive bottom end ideal for acoustic blues or other styles that benefit from a more controlled bass response.
