SP Luthier Notes: Our luthier completed an inspection of this instrument once it landed with us, and it was determined to all ready be in ideal playing and cosmetic condition, and no work was required.
Unearth the sonic splendor of this magnificent Tuttle Vintage Classic S! Finished in a captivating, lightly aged Lake Placid Blue with a tinted gloss maple neck, this beauty offers vintage style with peerless modern playability. Feel the fantastic form of the Maple IRW neck and its substantial yet sleek back shape, perfectly paired with the original 7.25" fingerboard radius and 80X43 Vintage Nickel frets—a truly rock-solid instrument. The "PD" S-style pickups deliver stunning, classic tone and clarity, while the Alder body rings out with vibrant resonance. This isn't just a guitar; it's an investment and a unique specimen that feels supremely comfortable and inspires creativity every time you pick it up!
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.
