Back for sale and open to trades. Looking for a 00 sort of size… 


Stunning Collings CJ45T for sale - big price reduction for a quick sale - no offers at this price as it’s just not worth me loosing anymore money on it.

Price (assumed bank transfer, PayPal gift or cash - Can do normal PayPal if you cover you're fees:)
£4500 (reduced from £4750)

Do have proper packaging if you want to have it collected. 

I’m near Linton, Cambridge. CB21

I played this heavily and just couldn't put it down. There are swirls in the Nitro finish on the back from shirt buttons (I’ve polished most of these out and can supply new photos), one small ding on the top, one odd little tiny mark that looks like a dribble, but just won't come off so assume its in the finish, one small dink on the side (all have images in the link below). Frets are good, truss rod works as it should. Comes with its case and warranty card.

If you wanted a new one, it would be at around £7500

If you like thin modern necks, this is not for you. Its a handful, but so worth it! Its not quite a Banner J45, but its no Taylor! 

What Collings say:
As with all of our Traditional Series guitars, when it came time to add a “T” designation to our slope-shoulder offerings, we didn’t simply tweak the original; the all-new Collings CJ-45 T is a fully re-imagined instrument that offers a distinct tonal variation when compared to our CJ and CJ-35 models.

Strongly vintage-inspired, the body construction has been completely re-engineered, including new bracing carves and patterns. When combined with our latest T-Series neck design and new CJ-45 neck profile, the result showcases a tone that is exceptionally dry and fundamental with the growl and thump sought after in the great slope-shoulder dreads of the Wartime era.
