This beautiful used Collings can be yours! Plays with nice low action and sounds lovely. Nice large full sound. Frets look great as well. There is some Air in the finish as happens to a lot of these guitars from around that age. We tried to get pictures of that as well as the play wear that it has. Feel free to contact us with any inquiries.
"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. 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."
