The Collings CJ-45 T Traditional is a masterfully crafted slope-shoulder dreadnought that pays tribute to the golden era of acoustic guitar design while embracing modern playability. Built with a solid Sitka spruce top and Honduran mahogany back and sides, it delivers a rich, woody tone with superb dynamic range and articulation. The CJ-45 T features Collings' Traditional Series voicing and wartime scalloped X-bracing for enhanced warmth, clarity, and projection, all in a shorter 24 7/8" scale that makes playing feel effortless.

Attention to vintage detail is apparent in every element of the CJ-45 T, from the ivoroid body binding to the tortoise pickguard and mother-of-pearl inlays. The Honduran mahogany neck is paired with an Indian rosewood fingerboard for a classic feel, while the custom CJ-45 carve and straight-style ebony bridge offer both comfort and tonal responsiveness. Whether you're on stage or in the studio, this guitar is an inspiring companion. It comes complete with a deluxe hardshell case for ultimate protection.

Features:

  • Solid Sitka spruce top with Honduran mahogany back and sides

  • Traditional Series voicing with wartime scalloped X-bracing

  • Shorter 24 7/8" scale length for comfortable, responsive play

  • Ebony straight-style bridge with 2 5/16" string spacing

  • Includes deluxe hardshell case for safe transport and storage
