2008 Dake Traphagen Guitars Concert Double Top Nylon String Classical Guitar

We attended the GFA Convention (Guitar Foundation of America) recently and were lucky enough to bring back 2 instruments from famed maker Dake Traphagen. Dake's guitars are among our most popular nylon strings, with his quality and tone it's little wonder why players such as Scott Tennant and Pepe Romero own his guitars. This beautiful guitar is crafted from 35 year old Brazilian Rosewood and features a double top crafted of Swiss Spruce. It also sports two soundports, French Polish throughout, upgraded Graf tuners and an Eastman case. This guitar is amazing strong and articulate and much more warm and beautiful than some double tops. This is a series performance guitar and will make a lifelong partner for some lucky player.

Dream Guitars Player's Review:
"This is an astonishing guitar. I've played a lot of double tops and they are all loud, but Dake manages to maintain the beauty, warmth and character of his voice in this one. It will fill any hall and do so with emotion and joy. The Brazilian Rosewood is 35 years old, dark and rich. The double top employs some of the amazing Swiss Spruce Dake has stashed and it's very special. The Graf tuners and Eastman case complete the instrument. Worldclass tone and playability from a true master." - Paul Heumiller

"I'm a big fan of Dake Traphagen's guitars. This one is super clear and "punchy" with lots of projection and power. The soundports really add to the sound both behind and in front of the guitar." - Al Petteway
