Collings CJ - Adirondack / Mahogany - w/hsc --- $5770 List Price
Collings guitars are some of the finest around. They specialize in bluegrass/folk style instruments but have expanded their production line to electric guitars and some of the finest archtop guitars we have seen. They have been in business since 1986, however, Bill Collings has been doing repairs and custom building since 1973.
This is a unique Collings specialty guitar with an Adirondack spruce top and Mahogany back and sides. It has an Ebony bridge, an ebony fingerboard, a compensated bone saddle, a bone nut, Waverly open back tuners, and a tortoise pickguard. It has prewar style scalloped bracing, and Grained ivoroid binding. The scale length is 25.5" and the nut width is 1 3/4".
This is a great unique guitar for someone looking for something different. Collings guitars have some of the best clear tones we have found in acoustic instruments. This one is reminiscent of a Gibson J-45. If you have never tried a Collings please stop in and treat yourself, they sound wonderful, look wonderful and are suited to making great music.
