Description: This CJ sports a comfy neck profile that's a little rounder than some of the other Collings we have in stock. The inlays are a stunning aesthetic on both the headstock and fretboard, putting this guitar a step above the dot inlay models. well-rounded and warm rosewood tone! Collings continues to have one of the most even harmonic ranges from top to bottom.
Sound Pure stocks a good amount of Collings to choose from. Be sure to call and ask what we have in stock and if you don't see the model you want, there is a good chance we have it on order and we are happy to talk about reserving build slots.
The SJ is our version of what is commonly called a small Jumbo. Although the 16 inch lower bout is slightly wider than a dreadnought, and the sides almost as deep, the tight curve at the waist creates in a very different sound chamber. SJs, especially examples in maple, typically have a more pronounced midrange response when compared to a dreadnought, making them ideal candidates for a rounded cutaway. Players looking for the bass and overall volume of a large guitar, but with lots of treble clarity and midrange crunch, often find just what they need in the curvaceous SJ.
