2006 Collings SJ

The SJ is Collings’ version of what is commonly called a Small Jumbo. Although the 16 inch lower bout is slightly wider than a dreadnought, and the sides almost as deep, the tight curve at the waist creates in a very different sound chamber. Players looking for the bass and overall volume of a large guitar, but with lots of treble clarity and midrange crunch, often find just what they need in the curvaceous SJ. This wood combination truly highlights the depth and clarity of the SJ with stunning effect. The SJ TONEWOODS is constructed of all solid woods that are acquired, acclimated, and hand selected by master luthiers here at our shop. The SJ includes a premium flame maple back and sides with a black/white maple backstrip as standard. A German Spruce top with vintage toner pairs perfectly with this wood resulting is a versatile guitar with punch and clarity and balance of tone. Other features include full Ivoroid bindings, Maple neck, Ebony fretboard, bridge and headstock overlay, Maple mosaic backstrip, Gold Shaller tuners & a 1 11/16″ nut width. Its original owner just traded her in on a 335 & other than a center seam separation fixed right, she’s exceptionally clean overall & comes in its original black hard case.
