Collings Custom CJ Sunburst Sitka Spruce and Indian Rosewood
The Collings Jumbo, or CJ, is Collings' version of the classic slope-shouldered dreadnought, a shape that has enjoyed renewed popularity in recent years. While the Collings 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 full string scale, resulting in a somewhat percussive bottom end ideal for acoustic blues or other styles that benefit from a more controlled bass response. Of all the Collings body shapes, this is the one most often requested with a sunburst top finish, as this guitar beautifully demonstrates.
Modeled closely after a pre-war J45, the topwood on this guitar is Sitka Spruce, which is the legendary wood used a majority of guitars, and known for it's strength, it's clear precise note definition, and volume. The back and sides are Indian Rosewood, which produces a warm and lush.. yet clear and distinct tone.
Of all the Collings body shapes, this is the one most often requested with a sunburst top finish - and who are we to argue. The sitka top is highly responsive and also looks great underneath the sunburst finish. It also features a gorgeous Brazilian rosewood headstock overlay, the grain of which matches perfectly with the bound "mini-haircut" style headstock.
This instrument is in Excellent + Condition with only some light pick scratches on the pickguard. All are very light.
Includes Hardshell Case.
