2014 Collings CJ Mh A SS SB

This is a wonderful example of a Bill Collings living era slope shoulder short scale (24.9") dreadnaught Western Sunburst guitar with Mahogany Back & Sides/Adirondack Top. This guitar has been re-fretted with Jescar #6105 frets done by fretwork master Mike Koontz. (Plays like butter...!!)

This guitar is all set for the live stage with a Trance Amulet M Phantom M-V pick-up. I will include a copy of the Trance Amulet Owners Manual with the guitar.

(Please note that this pickup requires 48vdc phantom power to function. A guitar cable with a 1/4"TRS phone jack to Male XLR is required to operate)

If the pickup is not desired I can have it removed. Deduct: $150.00

This guitar has been kept in a smoke free humidity controlled environment since I acquired the instrument. It is in excellent condition but has been used. It is structurally sound and free from any cracks or damage.

Please feel free to ask any questions.
