Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Mint
A guitar and a situation we're not likely to encounter again anytime soon--the custom appointments on this model put its voice in a full-throated, lustrous territory that the standard model just doesn't reach. Balance, comfort, and an underlying power and brilliance of tone set this one apart. And the situation? The guitar was custom ordered and just didn't turn out to produce the sought-after sound. She's been played less over the course of a week than most folks practice and even still smells like a new guitar. Thanks to that, Collings has given us the clearance to sell the guitar with warranty, at below-new pricing. A rare opportunity here, folks--do not miss out on it!
* This guitar was owned for a week, played 2-3 times, and still qualifies for Collings' warranty (was never registered.)*

From Collings Guitars
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.
