Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
The first thing I thought when I sat down with this baritone beauty was, "Wow, low end shouldn't articulate this well!" I don't know how they do it, but Tuttle has done it again. Whether you came to love the deep, delicious sounds of the baritone guitar through its use by such players as John Petrucci, Pat Metheny, The Beach Boys or Duane Eddy, it is a distinctive sound that reaches down into your very soul. With this sexy, sonic blue offering, Michael Tuttle joins the hallowed ranks of Fender, Danelectro and Jerry Jones and easily holds his own. Chords, arpeggios and lead lines move through deep and resonant to high and sparkly, but always retain that crystal clear articulation. Everyone in the guitar department wanted a turn with this guitar, see for yourself what the fuss is about!

That's what you get with 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!
