The C10-35 brings a unique voice to one of our favorite body sizes, showcasing specially selected, ultra-lightweight tonewoods, non-scalloped Adirondack bracing, a long cutthrough saddle, and other vintage-inspired features for an entirely new C10 experience. Like its big brother, the popular CJ-35 model, the C10-35 produces a dry, punchy tone with a snarly attack and incredibly even response in a compact and comfortable package.

C10 vs C10 Deluxe vs C10-35

While all three models share the same body dimensions, key differences are outlined below.

  • Our C10 features Honduran mahogany back and sides, a 25 1/2″ scale length (short scale optional), rope top purfling, a walnut backstrip, and no binding on the fingerboard and peghead.
  • Our C10 Deluxe features  East Indian rosewood back and sides, a 25 1/2″ scale length (short scale optional), b/w/b/w/b top purfling, a maple/rosewood backstrip, and ivoroid binding on the fingerboard and peghead.
  • Our C10-35 is a more vintage-inspired instrument with a dry, punchy tone and more “snarly” attack.  Some unique features include Honduran mahogany back and sides, a short 24 7/8″ scale length, wenge straight bridge and fingerboard, our Vintage Now neck profile with 1 3/4″ nut width and 2 5/16″ string spacing, and a tigerstripe pickguard.
