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. With it’s larger jumbo slope shoulder body the CJ results in a somewhat percussive bottom end ideal for acoustic blues or other styles that benefit from a more controlled bass response. Hand built in Austin, TX, this very clean excellent condition 2023 pre-owned model is customized with Honduran Mahogany back and sides paired with a Sitka Spruce top with custom vintage dark Gibson sunburst, 25″ short scale configuration and full tortoise bindings.

Other features include Ebony fretboard and bridge, medium-fat C shaped Honduran Mahogany neck, tortoise full body, fretboard and headstock bindings, Pearl dot inlays and logo, Nickel Waverly tuners, Ebony headstock overlay, 1 3/4″ nut width and more.

Includes original hardshell case.
