Excellent Condition 2011 CJ Custom with Madagascar Rosewood back and sides and Adirondack Top. Beautiful Sunburst finish really is a stunner. Powerful deep, punchy low-end with silky smooth highs. Complex overtones really add to the richness of this instrument. 1 3/4" nut spacing really increases the playability and comfort. Madagascar Rosewood is becoming more and more rare and pricing has exponentially increased over the past few years. Do not let this very custom piece slip away!
Shows very, very minor signs of previous play, other than that guitar has lived its life in the case.
The Collings Jumbo, or CJ, is our 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.
