Sale price$6,499.99
Sold out

The Collings CJ-45 T with an Adirondack spruce top captures the spirit of a classic slope-shoulder dreadnought while elevating it with Collings’ signature precision and clarity. In Excellent Condition with very minimal play wear, this guitar is built with a lightweight construction and premium tonewoods. This guitar delivers a warm, woody fundamental with a quick, responsive attack. The Adirondack top adds headroom and dynamic range, giving the player more control whether playing lightly or digging in with a pick.

 

This model leans into that vintage-inspired sound, with a strong midrange presence and a dry, focused character that sits beautifully in a mix. The mahogany back and sides contribute warmth and punch, while the CJ body shape provides a slightly more balanced and refined take on the traditional slope-shoulder voice. It is equally at home for singer-songwriters, strummers, and players looking for a roots-inspired tone with modern consistency.

 

Collings’ build quality is evident in every detail, from the clean fit and finish to the smooth and comfortable neck profile. The result is a guitar that feels broken in right away while still offering the reliability and stability expected from a modern boutique instrument. For players chasing that classic J-45 style sound with added clarity and responsiveness, the CJ-45 T stands out as a top-tier option.
