YAMAHA / 1978 CJ-7
The CJ series draws on the tradition of Western guitars and is crafted with a country feel.
According to the Yamaha catalog, it is described as having a “masculine sound,” characterized by a relatively firm tone and a powerful, full-bodied volume.
The moment you pick up this model and strum it for the first time, you get the feeling that it’s “powerful
."
The rich air volume unique to the jumbo body spreads the vibration of the strings as if it were scaled up.
It’s not just a loud sound; even with powerful strumming, the sound image doesn’t collapse, and the high notes cut through sharply. This characteristic instantly adds a three-dimensional quality to your playing.
The sides and back are made of mahogany, which provides solid support for the core mid-low frequencies and gives the overall sound a sense of “thickness.”
At the same time, there is a crisp, snappy clarity; with every rhythmic beat, the contours of the sound emerge clearly, ensuring it doesn’t get lost in an ensemble.
Despite its large size, the CJ offers excellent playability.
The body shape, with its deep waist, sits very comfortably on the lap, providing a snug fit that makes the instrument feel surprisingly compact.
Contrary to its appearance, it is anything but unwieldy.
