Collings CJ Custom Mahogany Sunburst

The Collings Jumbo, or CJ, is their 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. Of all the Collings body shapes, this is the one most often requested with a sunburst top finish, and the wide range of wood options, neck widths, and string scales allow the CJ to be many different guitars to a wide variety of players.
This is definitely the most explosive sounding CJ we have ever heard. The extra features this particiular guitar was ordered with all add up to an amazing clarity of tone and volume that will surely knock you out. From the vintage style straight bracing, the no tongue brace option, the slightly shorter 24 7/8" scale lenth, Adirondack braces and the CW bridge option with cutthrough saddle make this Collings a truly unique instrument.
