Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

Builder guitar alert! This Tuned T was originally built by Tuttle for his personal use! It's no secret what big fans we are of Tuttle Tuned T's; this one features nearly all of our favorite touches. The Mary Kay finish on this Ash body is subtle and beautiful. The lightweight construction, weighing in around 6 1/2 pounds, makes for a lively and easy to shoulder instrument. And the combination of the mini humbucker in the neck along with a classic, rip-roaring tele bridge pickup from master-winder, Curtis Novak, makes for some truly exceptional tones. 

SP Luthier Notes: Setup confirmed

From Michael Tuttle Guitars

For the past two decades, Michael Tuttle 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!
