Be the Star of the Show with this Tuttle Custom Hollow T!
$5,355.00
This Tuttle Custom Hollow T brings together artistry and attitude in a guitar that instantly feels special, with a resonant ash body and a shimmering Gold Sparkle top that’s as inspiring as its tone. The maple/IRW neck, shaped to a comfortable .830–.930 C, plays effortlessly, while stainless-steel frets and a Tuttle Vintage bridge add precision and longevity. Paired with a “PD” humbucker and Humbuster T bridge pickup, it delivers rich warmth and articulate snap that respond beautifully to every touch. With elegant binding and pro-level versatility, this Tuttle is a striking, soulful investment built to perform.
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.
