The BK model embodies Jeff’s trademark clarity and balance and adds a bit more bottom end and power. This particular guitar has all the mojo and a voice that takes you away and makes you wonder how Jeff does it. Customers are constantly amazed at just how different Traugott guitars are and how immediately you sense it. There is a reason they are so highly sought after. This is a dead mint version of the most collectible of guitars and it sports an incredible set of Brazilian Rosewood.

Here is a wonderful Jeff Traugott guitar from 1997 in his popular Model R body shape. This beauty is in perfect condition and setup to play with ease. It has a body crafted from Indian Rosewood and is topped with German Spruce, Jeff’s top wood of choice. Traugott Guitars are well known for their stunning clarity and understated beauty. This one is humbly adorned with Jeff’s usual gold purfling and wood rosette. The tone is sumptuous, the kind of voice that takes you away.

Here we have a rare 12 fret Traugott Model R. With the bridge in the “sweet spot”, the increased response is noticeable right away. This is a very well cared for ten year old Traugott that is fully mature and speaking. Jeff’s trademark clarity and separation are evident here and the overall voice is intimate and makes this an excellent recording guitar or everyday musical partner.

Here we have a 2023 TreeHouse Guitars Parlor guitar. On top, some exceptionally aesthetically pleasing Redwood, tightly grained with some very nice chatoyance. Honduran Rosewood makes up the back and sides. This is a unique pairing of tonewoods, but man, oh man, do they work! This guitar has a lot of creature comforts: a soundport, beveled edges, a soundhole, and fingerboard extension. Evo frets and some beautifully blue appointments. But listen and look for yourself!

Dennis Scannell’s True North guitars have an unerring accuracy and clarity that makes for exquisite acoustic detail. This 2007 Model 2 is the perfect fingerstylist’s tool. Brazilian Rosewood back and sides (arrow-straight grain), “Lucky Strike” Redwood, and a 25.8” scale all come together in a rich, resonant voice that’s perfect for altered tuning territory. The Grand Auditorium body shape gives extra depth to the bass response, but this True North still plays handsomely and without effort; it rewards a light attack with a lush splay of overtones across the mids and trebles. This one features Dennis’s Platinum Upgrade P ackage, which includes a tapered body, Calton flight case, semi-hemispherical fret ends, and a double graphite-reinforced neck.
Good luck trying to play a bad note on this powerhouse True North guitar.

Dennis Scannell incorporates a number of sophisticated and worthwhile design features into his guitars. The tapered/wedge body shape is something we love, it keeps the bass controlled and in balance on a larger guitar and also greatly enhances comfort. Dual graphite neck reinforcements, along with the truss rod, make for great stability when moving between tunings. On the outside you get precise and beautiful craftsmanship in every detail. The voice of this guitar is warm and very clear and in balance. Ziricote and Redwood combine beautifully to make this a superb fingerstyle guitar and very capable for altered tunings.
