Experience master-grade playability and modern vintage mojo with the Tuttle Classic T in striking Dakota Red! Hand-crafted by Michael Tuttle, this 7 lb 6 oz T-style guitar pairs a lightweight, resonant roasted basswood body with a silky roasted maple neck and a smooth 12" radius rosewood fingerboard. Equipped with Tuttle's impeccably finished stainless steel frets and a bone nut, it offers lightning-fast action, zero fret friction, and effortless bend execution. Driven by dual custom Humbuster T pickups, this guitar delivers fat, hum-free Tele twang with massive clarity and dynamic range, anchored by a Tuttle Vintage nickel bridge and framed by a stylish 3-ply tortoiseshell pickguard. Complete with a protective hardshell case, it stands as an elite boutique workhorse designed for serious stage and studio performance.
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.
