Details
Slope-shouldered dreadnoughts came in a variety of cosmetic styles in the 1950s, and this slightly fancy version with the bound fretboard, parallelogram inlays and extra purfling is our favorite. The CSJ 1959 is part of Creek’s “Time Machine Series,” and it has the look, feel, and tone of the acoustic guitars coming out of Kalamazoo in the late 1950s. This example is based on a guitar built in 1959 and it has a torrefied Adirondack spruce top, mahogany back and sides and a Madagascar rosewood fretboard with rolled edges, a concession to contemporary building style that increases playing comfort. This guitar is lightly built, much like the guitar in the late 1950s, and it has that same, clear, crisp tone we all know and love. If you’re looking a guitar that expertly blends vintage character, modern reliability, and thoughtful vintage aesthetics, the Creek CSJ 1959 deserves a look. Includes a Boblen hardshell case.
