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. Emerging out of our 
fascination with this era of guitar making 
history, Collings is proud to introduce the CJ35. 
Available with a mahogany back and slope-shouldered body, this new variation of our CJ model
incorporates a non-scalloped bracing configuration
featuring three tone bars and a short 24 7/8" scale length. This new design 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. As a result, the CJ35 is one of our
most versatile large-bodied guitars, equally
well-suited for a variety of playing styles.
