Condtion: Used, Very Good
SP Luthier Notes: All of the frets were polished, recrowned and leveled. The truss rod and bridge were fully adjusted. No further work was required.
This is more than just a guitar—it's a precision-perfect playing machine built for serious players! The classic combination of an ash body and a rock-solid maple neck and fingerboard provides a brilliant tonal foundation, while the custom Tuttle "PD" pickups unleash a powerful, versatile voice with endless punch and clarity. Paired with a top-tier Gotoh 510 bridge and Hipshot locking tuners, this instrument is a true investment in playability and performance. Forget "as-is" and say hello to perfection! Every single fret has been polished, recrowned, and leveled by an expert luthier, and both the truss rod and bridge were professionally adjusted. This guitar is supremely playable, rock-solid, and perfectly prepped to be your new favorite.
We are so fortunate to work with the builders that we represent. Over the years, we've been lucky enough to get on board early with companies that had their act together before the "guitar world" discovered them. Several years back, two people (whose opinions we deeply respect) said we had to check out Michael's guitars. Michael sent us an S and T, and we sold the S model to the first person who heard it! Needless to say, we knew we were on to something. Tuttle has been building for over 20 years and got his start working at Valley Arts in California with Don Grosh, whom he worked with at Grosh Guitars. In 2003, Michael started Tuttle Guitars. Michael's attention to detail is very evident. Being a small builder (Michael’s team consists of himself and an assistant), everything needs to be right the first time out. This is a huge benefit for the player, as there can be no "Monday or Friday" guitars. We’ve always loved it when the guy’s name that's on the headstock had his hands all over the instrument when it was built - his reputation and quality of work is on the line every time one of his creations goes out the door. It's wonderful when you put one of Michaels guitars in a player's hands for the first time and watch their reaction. Michael is such a talented builder, and we are lucky to have such a positive relationship with him as a shop.
