Brand: Collings
Instrument Categories: Acoustic Steel String, Guitars, SOLD
Here is a lovely Collings SJ Maple bodied steel string guitar, built in late 1998 in Austin Texas and with a K&K mini pickup set installed. This example has had two top cracks repaired and cleated, and the original Waverly tuners replaced with excellent Gotoh engraved open gear models. The finish has a few dings but overall is in good condition.
The Collings SJ Maple is built with a Jumbo body. The top and bracing are Sitka Spruce while the sides, back and neck are highly figured European Maple. The body blocks are Mahogany, and the bridge and bound fingerboard are Ebony. The inlays and Collings logo are Mother of Pearl.
As with virtually every Collings we see, the materials choice, build quality, finish, playability and tone are top notch. These are about the finest ‘production’ models available anywhere.
Sold with the original Collings hard shell case by TKL.
