The CJFG model, designed after studying an authentic 1957 J-45,torrefied processing by a selected vendor to achieve the texture of vintage wood for the top and bracing materials, using carefully chosen high-quality Sitka Spruce. This results in an instrument that embodies the lightness of a genuine vintage piece, with a crisp and resonant sound, reminiscent of a crystal-clear high frequency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aging process is carried out by skilled artisans, meticulously finishing each instrument by hand based on actual vintage specimens. While decorative elements such as weather checks and worn-in scratches, emerged over an extended period, are expressed, there is also a focus on studying the 'Effects of Aging on Sound.' This research informs a unique aged finish, adjusting both the final appearance and sound by carefully considering aspects like the layers and thickness of the coating, the stiffness of the paint, and the painting process starting from the early stages of coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a rare find here - and likely to go fast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBody Top : Solid Torrefied Sitka Spruce\u003cbr\u003eBody Side : Solid Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eBody Back : Solid Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eBody Binding : White \u0026amp; Black\u003cbr\u003eRosette : White \u0026amp; Black Single Ring\u003cbr\u003eNeck : 1pcs Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard : Madagascar Rosewood\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Inlay : Dots\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNut width : 42.5mm\u003cbr\u003eScale : 625mm\u003cbr\u003ePickguard : Large Tortoise Color\u003cbr\u003eBridge : Madagascar Rosewood\u003cbr\u003eTuner : Kluson 3 Per Plate Single Line Aged\u003cbr\u003eFinish : Aged\u003cbr\u003eColour : Sunburst\u003cbr\u003eCase : Hard Case\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Creek Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48617673982195,"sku":"04CRK002","price":4100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/files\/1-Img39710_b68e04b5-1422-4a0b-a1f8-85a59fc63da8.jpg?v=1774460748","url":"https:\/\/www.truetonemusic.com\/products\/creek-guitars-time-machine-series-cjfg-1957-aged-vintage-sunburst-acoustic-with-case","provider":"Truetone Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
