Collings CJ45 Traditional, Mahogany & Sitka Spruce

Looking for a large-bodied slope shouldered dread, with a short scale length and vintage construction and appeal in spades? The CJ-45 T, or Traditional Series Collings Jumbo, has you covered. Collings makes their CJ models with a wide array of tonewood, neck profile, scale length, and finish options, but the CJ-45 Traditional with Sitka spruce top may be the all around most versatile and balanced. The classic pairing of Sitka with mahogany gives the player dry, woody power and a warm, balanced tone. This particular CJ-45 has a shorter scale length of 24-7/8", "resulting in a somewhat percussive bottom end ideal for acoustic blues or other styles that benefit from a more controlled bass response."

To sweeten the pot even further, this CJ-45 was built with Collings' Traditional construction and voicing techniques. The vintage-inspired approach adds a different bracing pattern than the standard CJs, as well as the T-Series neck design combined with the C profile.
