Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: This instrument has been carefully inspected and, if necessary, serviced by our certified luthier to ensure it is in excellent playing condition.

Masterwork craft meets high-end performance in this 2021 Tuttle Custom Classic S. Weighing just 7 lbs 2 oz, it features a resonant roasted pine body in 2-Tone Burst paired with a roasted maple neck and fingerboard. Designed for effortless playability, the neck sports an .830-C profile, a flat 12" radius, a 1.650" bone nut, and Tuttle's legendary stainless steel fretwork. An HSS pickup set featuring two "PD" single-coils and a nickel-covered "PD" humbucker delivers articulate vintage-voiced glass and bridge punch, managed by a 5-way switch. Hardware includes a Tuttle Vintage bridge, Hipshot locking tuners, nickel hardware, and an aged 3-ply parchment pickguard. Includes a G&G hardshell case.

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!
