As with all of Collings Traditional Series guitars, when it came time to add a “T” designation to their slope-shoulder offerings, Collings didn’t simply tweak the original; the all-new Collings CJ-45 T Acoustic Guitar is a fully re-imagined instrument that offers a distinct tonal variation when compared to their CJ and CJ-35 models.
Strongly vintage-inspired, the body construction has been completely re-engineered, including new bracing carves and patterns. When combined with our latest T-Series neck design and new CJ-45 neck profile, the result showcases a tone that is exceptionally dry and fundamental with the growl and thump sought after in the great slope-shoulder dreads of the Wartime era.
