This is the only Collings CJ made with hide glue. It was part of an experiment by Collings to see it they wanted to offer it as an option. They decided they didn't and we got the guitar. It's an awesome instrument. Simple but very elegant looks, and a world-class voice. This guitar just shimmers when you let it ring out even a little. This instrument has a loud, woody bass, but it is balanced with a stronger midrange than square shouldered dreads usually have and it sings up the neck with brilliance, big volume and clarity, but with no edginess. This one has a slightly sweet, woody and articulate voice with great note separation. A top shelf flatpicking guitar, it also has fine balance, character and feel for fingerstyle. These and the Collings 12 fret D's are their most versatile dreadnoughts. It seems like when Collings puts a sunburst on these they add some special Ju-Ju to them. Someone help me out here...I won't be able to resist taking it home for very long and then I'd be in big trouble with the finance committee (and she is less than pleasant when irritated).
