SP Luthier Notes:
All of us here at SoundPure are utterly spoiled guitar players, and you know something special is coming through the door when Michael Tuttle himself says this may be the best playing guitar he's ever made. To start with how it sounds, it absolutely does not get better for a T Style guitar than a piece from Tuttle. All of the spank and twang you could ever want, without any of the bull. The sound is absolutely dialed in, and the playing experience - even for a Tuttle - is second to NONE, and this guitar literally just plays itself. Don't miss this one, it's ridiculously good!
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.
