2006 Collings CJ SB Slope-Shouldered Dreadnought (Pre-owned)
Collings are known all over the world for producing some of the finest guitars available today. Each guitar is meticulously built using only the finest tone woods hand selected by master luthiers. The result is as close to perfection you'll find on a guitar.
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 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.
This is a fantastic sounding acoustic guitar. Recently set up by UK luthier Martyn Booth, it plays effortlessly.
In very good condition throughout. Has a small ding on the top (see last photo).
