Acoustic Flat TopNew Collings CJ Custom
This Collings CJ was custom ordered by us with an eye toward the stage, and an ear toward the studio. The sitka top is finished with a subtle burst, called Western Shade. Rope purfling sets off the top from the walnut stained mahogany sides. A tiger-stripe celluloid pickguard blends in perfectly with the graduated shading. It really is a looker.
The neck is Collings Vintage Now modified-v profile (1 3/4" nut) with the square headstock, rather than the rounded neck profile and haircut headstock typical of this model. We really like the feel of this neck shape, and the added mass of the neck - albeit a small difference - really seems to add some overall sustain, and a thickness to the trebles.
The slope shouldered CJ body has a nice bump in the midrange, making it a perfect instrument for vocal accompaniment. The full scale length allows for enough tension to produce plenty of volume for fingerstyle or flatpicking. Strumming produces a rich, balanced voice with a little bit of natural compression, and plenty of note separation.
Great looks, great feel, and great sound. Built with amazing attention to detail in Austin, TX. Retail $4925 $4432.50
