Collings CJ Mahogany Sunburst Tigerstripe Pickguard w/Case 34972
Collings CJ Mahogany Sunburst Tigerstripe Pickguard w/Case 34972
he 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.
