2003 Collings SJ SB in excellent condition. Only very faint signs of prior use that require close scrutiny to notice. Its hard to believe that this guitar is 23 years old from looking at it.
This is a masterpiece of a jumbo guitar from one of the greatest builders of our time. Big, bold piano-like notes with a beautiful mix of depth and richness complimented by perfect crisp clarity and definition. Incredible balance across the strings as well as up and down the fretboard, an impressive quality in such a large-bodied instrument. The guitar just received a professional set-up to return it to Collings specifications. It plays wonderfully in all positions with no issues whatsoever. On top of the amazing sonic qualities, the guitar is drop dead gorgeous. The pictures can hardly do it justice, so come in and check it out today! Specs from Collings below. Ship date was 1/14/2003.
