Default 2004 Collings SJ Rosewood: SOLD

SOLD

Never say never I guess! So, I am selling my 2004 Collings SJ.

This is all highly subjective of course, but to me this is the best sounding and playing Collings I have ever seen. Without question. I am a Collings fan, have owned several and played several more. This one is very, very responsive and articulate and has that extreme balance that Collings is known for. Amazing, amazing guitar.

I don't use "Mint" lightly, or often, but this one is in showroom condition. Never gigged and kept in a properly humidified environment.

Select sitka spruce top
East Indian rosewood back and sides
Cross-cut grained ivoroid and wood nitrate rosette
Black/white wood purfling with 3-style backstrip
Pre-war scalloped bracing
Tortoise-style celluloid pickguard
High gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish
Mahogany neck
"Haircut" headstock
15 degree headstock angle
Ebony peghead overlay with inlaid Collings logo
Ebony fingerboard with ebony SJ-style bridge
Mortise and tenon hybrid neck joint
20 Frets, neck joins the body at the 14th fret
Medium-Fat "C" neck profile and 2 3/16" string spacing
14"-26" Compound fingerboard radius
1 11/16" Bone nut and drop-in saddle
25 1/2" Scale length
Medium 18% nickel-silver fretwire
Mother of pearl Modern Diamond fretboard & peghead inlay
Fully adjustable truss rod
Ebony bridge pins
Nickel Schaller mini-tuners with 1:14 ratio
D'Addario EJ-17 (.013"-.056")
Collings deluxe hardshell case by TKL

This one has a K&K passive under saddle pickup installed as well.

One fantastic guitar that handles every style of play better than anything else I have owned. My favorite guitar of all time is D45V that I have. This Collings gives you all of that guitars responsiveness and depth of tone, with more balance I think.

$OLD Shipped and paypalled to anywhere in Canada and the continental USA.

Thanks guys...This is indeed a beauty. I have owned a lot of over years, but this might be the best all around guitar that has passed through my hands. Selling this one because I just picked up my dream guitar; a 1940's D-18, that cost me way too much money. Now I have to rob Peter to pay Paul.... Oh well...
