2012 Collings CJ- Traded
TRADED.
Collings CJ in sunburst with the nice Collings case, built in 2012. Excellent condition for a 12-year old guitar, with minor fret wear and the usual minor pickguard scratches. It has one good ding right by the pickguard, probably a case bite, that is not as bad as it appears in the photo. Short scale (24 7/8"). K&K pickup installed, with a volume knob in the soundhole. Pretty sitka top with truly beautiful mahogany b/s. Ebony fretboard and bridge, and the headstock overlay. Tortoise binding around the body, up the neck, and around the headstock. The neck is Honduran mahogany. Sunburst, and Collings does the best burst in the business, IMO. Waverly tuners in nickel. Body finish is high gloss nitrocellulose, and the neck is high gloss polyester resin. Bracing pattern is pre-war scalloped X-brace, with sitka spruce braces. 1 3/4" bone nut with a "C" shaped neck, on the chunky side. String spacing is 2 3/16" with a bone saddle. Action is excellent, it plays perfectly. I measure the low E at just a touch over 3/32" and the high E right at 2/32". Plenty of saddle, as shown in one of the photos. This is a large and powerful guitar when you hit it hard, but it can whisper as well. Great flatpicker and fingerpicker, it excels at both. I hate to see this one go, but I aggravated my wrecked right shoulder recently and it's not going to get any better. My arm goes numb when I play a large guitar for any length of time, so I'm going smaller. This guitar was around $6k new. I'm asking $4250, which includes shipping to the lower 48. I am in central Colorado. TRADES considered: 00, 000, OM Martin, preferably a 12-fret. I like a 1 3/4" nut with a Mod V neck. Or a D-18VS or a HD-28VS, something along those lines. Or maybe an EC. Let me know what you've got. Would prefer cash my way. Please PM with questions. Thanks! 20231226_092748.jpg20231226_092221.jpg20231226_092329.jpg20231226_092422.jpg20231226_092238.jpg20231226_092230.jpg20231226_092140.jpg20231226_092044.jpg20230322_104026.jpg20230322_104109.jpg20230323_105052.jpg20230323_110211.jpg

Change that to "shipping included" in the lower 48.
That is a pretty substantial reduction due to the fact that this case is the heaviest guitar case I've ever hefted. Guitar, case and box weigh 30 lbs. For a nearby buyer I'll make a nice adjustment.
