SCGC VJ vs Collings CJ demo

[bert]

Maple St Guitars monthly newsletter came today, thought this might be of interest to the forum.

Since I own one of each it caught my attention. Main diffs in this demo is that my VJ in Sitka and my CJ is Red Spruce (adi).

Thanks for sharing the video, bert.

Not news:  The SCGC every time.
Collings guitars just sound tight to me.  The SCGC has a deeper ‘smile’ curve in the EQ (more bass and brighter treble).

Daniel, I completely agree, the VJ just nailed that demo. I’ve been playing both builders for 15+ yrs,

Collings are always tighter new, then, in time they settle in. My CJ never caught up with my VJ until I recently put on the SCGC Parabolic Norms, but even then they are still very diff vibes.

I have been about to sell the CJ a zillion times but the SCGC strings have changed that,

thank you SCGC.  bert

btw – (I know John doing the demo, Maple St has some fine guitar players and they love some SCGC)
