This Collings CJ35 A is an excellent example of a traditional slope shoulder dreadnought. Its Honduran Mahogany back and sides provide a sweet, midrange focused response perfect for light strumming, traditional finger style, and flatpicking alike. A delicate touch brings out the sweetness that slope shoulder dreads are known for, but the Adirondack Spruce top gives this instrument ample headroom when digging in. With a comfortable "C" shaped neck and short scale, this Collings CJ35 A is a dream to play. While this particular instrument was built in 2014, it has been well taken care of throughout its life. There are some light pick scratches on the pick guard and subtle swirl marks on the back but otherwise it's in great shape.
