Collings CJ-45 T Traditional Acoustic Guitar

Available at Acoustic Centre Melbourne

Includes Hardshell Case

The Collings CJ-45 T is a stunning addition to the Traditional Series that redefines and perfects the slope-shoulder dreadnought acoustic guitar. Crafted with a solid Sitka spruce top and Honduran mahogany back and sides, this guitar offers a rich and resonant tone that is both warm and inviting. The CJ-45 T features Collings' signature wartime scalloped X-bracing, which enhances its tonal clarity and projection, making it perfect for both strumming and fingerpicking. With a shorter scale length of 24 7/8", this guitar provides an effortless playing experience, allowing musicians to express their creativity without restraint.

This model boasts meticulous craftsmanship, with vintage-inspired details such as ivoroid body binding, a straight-style ebony bridge with 2 5/16" spacing, and a beautiful tortoise pickguard. The neck is made of Honduran mahogany and features an ebony fingerboard with mother-of-pearl long dots, offering a smooth playing surface for any style. The CJ-45 T is designed for musicians who appreciate traditional aesthetics and a fundamental-focused tone. It comes with a deluxe hardshell case for protection, ensuring that your Collings guitar stays safe while you travel. Experience the elegance and exceptional sound of the Collings CJ-45 T, a guitar that beautifully balances vintage charm with modern playability.

    We endeavour to show the actual instrument in stock whenever possible, but the guitar in stock may differ slightly from the one shown on our website. Materials used can look different from guitar to guitar, including timber grain and colour, parts colours and finishing. If an instrument is a one-of-a-kind or preowned guitar, the picture will always be of the actual guitar in stock, but production models may have slight variations to the picture shown.

    If you're after a particular look, feel free to email us at info@acousticcentre.com.au or send us a message through our chat service to request photos of the actual guitar in stock. We are more than happy to send through pictures of all in-stock guitars, to make your choice easier.

    Please note that returns will not be accepted for variations in timber grain /  colouring, finish variations and parts colouring, unless there is a fault with the instrument.
