CANALLI CJC-145

A Blend of Tradition and Innovation

The Canalli CJC-145 is a captivating semi-hollow electric guitar, a collaborative effort between renowned guitarist João Castilho and luthier Mateus Canalli. The name "CJC-145" is a fusion of the creators' initials and the guitar's distinctive 14.5" body width. This unique design, inspired by classic guitar models, offers a versatile tonal palette that seamlessly blends warm, resonant tones with a crisp, articulate attack. The CJC-145 is a testament to the synergy of traditional craftsmanship and innovative design, making it a sought-after instrument for players seeking exceptional sound and playability.

Designed to overcome the feedback issues common in semi-hollow body guitars, the CJC-145 offers a balanced design that maximizes acoustic resonance while minimizing unwanted feedback.

With its innovative semi-hollow body shape, the CJC-145 strikes a balance between the full-bodied tone of an acoustic guitar and the versatility of an electric. The result is a guitar that excels in blues, rock, and jazz, delivering rich, warm tones and exceptional playability.

Innovative Semi-Hollow Body Design

A carefully balanced construction that minimizes feedback while maximizing acoustic resonance.

Headstock Design

The robust headstock design offers several benefits for guitar durability and performance. The reduced headstock angle and reinforcing volute distribute string tension more evenly, minimizing the risk of breakage. Additionally, the optimized string break angle at the nut promotes stable tuning. The spoke nut truss rod design eliminates the need for a traditional headstock truss rod, further reducing stress points and enhancing the headstock's structural integrity. In essence, the robust headstock design provides enhanced durability, precise tuning, and breakage protection.

Spoke Nut Truss Rod

The Canalli CJC-145 features a revolutionary spoke wheel truss rod, offering unprecedented control over neck curvature. This innovative design allows for precise adjustments, ensuring optimal playability and tone. With a simple turn of the wheel, you can fine-tune your instrument to perfection, eliminating the need for complex adjustments and specialized tools. This direct access to the truss rod also prevents common issues like stripped screw heads, enhancing the instrument's longevity. By eliminating the traditional headstock cavity, this design has increased the headstock's rigidity, resulting in improved sustain and reduced unwanted vibrations. Additionally, the new truss rod configuration reduces stress on the headstock, minimizing the risk of cracks and extending the instrument's lifespan.
