The pre-war era of American flattop guitar making has come to be known as “golden” for a reason. Lauded for its short but brilliant periods of construction innovation, the years from 1930-1942 were filled with new instrument runs that featured bracing, fret access and body dimension changes that would define the features and sounds of the modern acoustic guitar. The Collings CJ35 emerges out of this fascinating era of guitar making history.
This slope shoulder 24 7/8″ short scale length design incorporates a non-scalloped bracing configuration featuring three tone bars. This provides the CJ35 with a beautiful balance of deep piano-like bass and powerful full-bodied highs, complimented by a focused dynamic range for exceptionally even note projection.
The custom hand rubbed Varnish finish along with the stiff yet light German Spruce top accentuates the warmth, clarity and broken in feel you find in a vintage 1930’s slope D but without the decades of playing time to break in.
Includes deluxe TKL hardshell case and lifetime warranty.
