From Collings: 

The Collings Jumbo, or CJ, is our version of the classic slope-shouldered dreadnought, a shape that has enjoyed renewed popularity in recent years. 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 optional 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.

Product Overview
Drawing inspiration from the Gibson J-45, the Collings CJ Dreadnought acoustic guitar, designed by master luthier Bill Collings, is a kind of mixture of the jumbo and dreadnought body types. Although CJ stands for Collings Jumbo, and the guitar is sized large, the shape itself is akin to that of a dreadnought. The CJ is typically comprised of a sitka spruce top and East Indian rosewood back and sides, though Collings offers a variety of wood choice combinations to create different tonal qualities.
