Collings Guitars Unveils New CJ-45 T Slope-Shoulder Dreadnought

Austin, TX — January 20, 2021 — Collings Guitars continues to expand the tonal range of its acclaimed Traditional Series with the release of the all-new CJ-45 T slope-shoulder dreadnought.

As with all of its Traditional Series instruments, adding the “T” designation to an already established body shape didn’t mean simply tweaking its predecessor.  In order to achieve a fully vintage-inspired tone, every aspect of the guitar’s voicing was reconsidered, from its bracing carves, thicknesses, and positioning to its flatter back design, resulting in an exceptionally dry, fundamental, and mid-forward musicality.

In addition, its beefier custom neck incorporates Collings’ newly redesigned T-Series neck support and other build techniques to produce the loose, broken-in feel that is highly desired among the best vintage instruments.

Key features include:

  • Sitka or Adirondack spruce top with Honduran mahogany back and sides
  • Completely revoiced top, back, and body bracing
  • Lightweight Traditional materials and construction
  • Vintage custom neck profile incorporating redesigned T-Series neck support
  • All-nitrocellulose high gloss sunburst finish
  • Fully-visible ivoroid rosette with black/white purfling
  • 1 3/4″ bone nut
  • Indian rosewood fingerboard with 19-frets and Mother-of-Pearl long dots
  • Straight-style ebony bridge with 2 5/16″ string spacing and cut-through bone saddle

The CJ-45 T carries a MSRP of $6,400 and is available through authorized Collings retailers.
