Sound Pure's Take
Weight: 8.4 lbs.
#220 is another astounding example of the level of excellence that Michael Tuttle puts into each of his guitars. Of course, the stunning top on this one speaks for itself, but once you're able to put this in your hands and strum your first chord, you'll know that his guitars are every bit as good as they look. #220 sports a very well balanced H-S-S pickup configuration, allowing for ultimate flexibility in tones, with each position of the 5-way switch being a hugely inspirational tone. You name it, this guitar will do it.
Michael's fretwork is some of the best in the business, and this guitar absolutely shows this to be true. Fit, form and function all delivered in spades with #220; truly an incredible instrument!
From 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!
