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 with premium East Indian Rosewood back and sides paired with a Sitka Spruce top. Most often found with a sunburst top, we are happy to offer this one with a natural nitrocellulose gloss finish.
Other features include Ebony fretboard and bridge, medium-fat C shaped Honduran Mahogany neck, full Ivoroid body, fretboard and headstock bindings, Pearl dot inlays and logo, Nickel Waverly tuners, 3-style chevron backstrip, Ebony headstock overlay, with comfortable 1 11/16″ nut width and more. This 2024 pre-owned CJ is in excellent condition with minimal pickguard hazing.
Includes original hardshell case.
