This Collings CJ35 is absolutely stunning, here with a German Spruce top and sunburst finish. The design for this model started with a collaboration between our very own Jim Baggett and Bill Collings. Based on some of Jim's vintage Gibson J-35s, the CJ35 features Adirondack straight (non-scalloped) three-tone bar-bracing and abbreviated tongue brace, which, when combined with its Mahogany back and sides, really make this instrument sing. You get a beautiful balance of deep piano-like bass and powerful full-bodied highs, complimented by a focused dynamic range for exceptionally even note projection. It makes this CJ35 a super versatile guitar, too, well-suited to fingerstyle, strumming, and flat-picking. Plus, the slightly shorter 24 7/8” scale and vintage inspired neck profile make it a real joy to play.
