2007 Collings Guitars CJMhAVARN - Slope Shouldered Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar
What a gorgeous wide-grain Adirondack top on this Collings CJ. This is the kind of top that delights vintage guitar lovers. The wide grain offers up big bass tones and superb responsiveness throughout the tonal spectrum. The Mahogany body and Varnish finish complete this powerhouse that really is loud and clear. This guitar is finished with Ivoroid bindings on the body, neck and head and has a lovely headstock inlay as well. A Varnish hot rod for sure.
