{"product_id":"2015-collings-sj-acoustic-guitar-used-13776","title":"2015 Collings SJ Acoustic Guitar Used","description":"This Collings SJ was built in 2015 and it’s in excellent structural and cosmetic condition. The frets do show a little wear but don't show deep grooves so there is a lot of life left in them. The SJ is the Collings version of the Small Jumbo, a body shape inspired by the 1950s Gibson J-185. The 16 inch lower bout is slightly wider than a dreadnought, and although the sides are almost as deep, the tight curve at the waist creates a very different sound chamber. SJs, especially examples in maple like this one, typically have a stronger, more punchy midrange response when compared to a dreadnought (the maple neck, which is stiffer and harder than mahogany, is part of that difference). Players looking for the bass and overall volume of a large guitar, but with lots of treble clarity and midrange crunch, often find what they need in the curvaceous Collings SJ. This one has a Sitka spruce top and European maple back and sides and that combination produces a nicely balanced tone that works well for fingerpicking, strumming and vocal accompaniment. The even response of a maple SJ also works very well for jazz.\r\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Collings Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43198059249863,"sku":"COLSJ-25111","price":5700.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0503\/4947\/3991\/files\/1205431_e2238bd2-aedd-4f32-b605-51bbbbc6a0a3.jpg?v=1781254502","url":"https:\/\/www.gryphonstrings.com\/products\/2015-collings-sj-acoustic-guitar-used-13776","provider":"Gryphon Strings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
