Sound Pure's Take

Michael Tuttle never ceases to amaze us with his incredibly built guitars and yet again we were stunned when we first opened the case on this Classic S. The burst is to die for on this guitar and with a great looking (and feeling!) roasted maple neck you get a guitar that has a classic look taken up a notch from the competition. Tuttle #520 feels amazing and if you've ever owned or played one of Michael's guitars you know to expect that and you certainly won't be let down here. This guitar made us want to sit down and play endlessly and really is the type of instrument that should motivate a player to spend more time on it, it's that good! If you've been a fan of the S style guitars in the past you should definitely call us about Tuttle guitars and find out how much better they can be when built by a master craftsman!

 

From Michael Tuttle Guitars

For the past two decades Michael has specialized in the fine art of what it takes to make a piece of wood feel good. Michael makes the necks feel like they're a part of your hands from the moment you pick them up.

Michael Tuttle's background includes stints with Valley Arts and Don Grosh Guitars, where, among other things, he gained a reputation for his fretwork. As a guitar player for the last 30 years, the transition from a professional musician to guitar builder has been a valuable asset to his company. He built his first guitar in the early 80's and in 1993 started building guitars commercially. After 10 years of honing the art of guitar building working for other organizations it was time to start out on his own. Michael Tuttle Guitars began in 2003. His unique craftsmanship and quality are unparalleled. Once you've played a Tuttle you'll know!
