CSJ 1959

We studied the build of a 1959 Southern Jumbo in great detail to create our CSJ 1959.
The carefully chosen Sitka Spruce tops and braces are torrefied to our specifications to reproduce that aged vintage sound and feel.
The period-correct bracing brings out the rich lows and powerful volume, just as you expect with a vintage Slope Shoulder Jumbo.
That vintage resonance, the crystalline trebles, and rich bass come alive under our watchful eye.

The CJFG 1957 is also offered with an optional Torrefied Adirondack Spruce top.

Body

The torrefied Sitka spruce top was chosen to help deliver that vintage tone and feel. The sides and back are crafted with Mahogany.
The Madagascar Rosewood upper belly bridge, fixed saddle, large celluloid pickguard, and double line rosette are familiar to anyone who appreciates fine vintage instruments.
The vintage sunburst finish is meticulously applied and aged by our skilled craftsman to recreate a fine vintage guitar’s look, feel, and sound.

Neck / Headstock

The one-piece Mahogany neck with beautiful Madagascar Rosewood fingerboard is brought to life with era-appropriate pearl dot inlays and binding.
Pre-War Kluson style aged single tuners enhance that “Golden Age” aesthetic.

Finish

All Creek Guitars are aged one at a time by our skilled artisans who have a deep knowledge of vintage guitars.
Their meticulous attention to detail enhances every aspect of the final product. The realistic weather checking and vintage-like scratches add to the guitar’s visual appeal. At Creek Guitars, we go in for the deep dive in our aging process. We age not only for looks but, more importantly, for sound.
We monitor the layers of the finish paint to achieve the proper stiffness that, in the end, will produce an honest vintage tone.
