Collings SJ Natural gloss maple

Collings SJ Natural gloss maple

$5,450.00

The SJ is our 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. SJs, especially examples in maple, typically have a more pronounced midrange response when compared to a dreadnought. 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 gorgeous guitar is bound head to toe in ivoroid, has a piano-black ebony peghead veneer, standard SJ inlays and bridge.  It has a 1 11/16″ nut on its C-profile maple neck, with 2 3/16″ string spacing at the saddle.
