Creek Guitars Time Machine Series CJFG 1957 Aged Vintage Sunburst Acoustic with Case
Handmade in Japan by top of the line luthiers, Creek Guitars brings a new level of quality that is hard to compete with. We came on board as a dealer as one of their first in the U.S., and sold all of them immediately. Now they're back. There are few very Creek Guitars in general, especially here in the U.S. They can be quite hard to find.
The Creek Time Machine Series is a collection that aims to recreate the vintage sound in a new instrument by taking into account the structure and the impact of aging on sound based on existing vintage instruments. 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.
The 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.
This is a rare find here - and likely to go fast.
