SOLD: Collings CJ45 T Adirondack Traditional & Case

[DenverSteve]

SOLD
Includes shipping CONUS & PayPal. If you're here, you probably already know this is Collings' flagship guitar. It has the optional Adirondack Spruce Top that retails for $8450. My 2-year old CJ45 is Mint. No marks on the neck, frets or pickguard. There are (like all manufactured items a couple of almost imperceptible handling marks, on the back, that will not photograph so let's call this one 99%. If it had been hung in a guitar store new for 1 day, it would have many more marks. These are incredibly built, with unsurpassed Collings tone. Loud, soft, finger-picked, flat-picked - however you play this simply embarrasses a J45. Not to mention Collings produces the finest Sunburst finishes anywhere - and this is the best of the best. Save money over buying new and grab this like-new for less. This is the guitar trifecta - Sounds great, looks great, plays great. There's a reason these Adirondack-topped CJ45s almost never come up for sale - low production and people rarely sell them.

"This Collings Guitars - CJ-45 A T welcomes the highly regarded CJ model into the Traditional series, drawing inspiration from some of the great slope shoulder jumbos of the Wartime era. Featuring an Adirondack top, paired with a redesigned, and flattened Mahogany back and sides, this guitar packs the sort of growl and umph that we love about the vintage models. Lightweight and punchy with a dry, focused mid-range, and more of a fundamental response and quicker fall off, makes this CJ-45 A T a great guitar for vocal accompaniment or country and fiddle tunes.

The neck features the new Collings flat bar T-Series construction with an adjustable truss rod and a full C-shape profile. This construction and full profile, paired with the Rosewood fingerboard enhance the warm tone of this guitar, delivering a truly Collings take on a classic sound. Includes a free setup to your specs from our crew of luthiers along with a Collings TKL hardshell case."

Can we get your take on the playability of this neck, known to be a bit on the hefty side.

[DenverSteve]

I find the neck robust and wonderful to play.
