We’ll let the builder Dake Traphagen tell you about this beauty: “This is the first of a total of ten that were made for this series. The next Anniversary series will be my 50th year of building, 2020, if I make it that long. The top is 150 year old cedar, the back and sides came from a salvaged beam that yielded only three sets and the beam was dated 1727!! Very cool, the neck wood came from another salvaged beam of Spanish cedar that was over 100 years old. The fret board is at least 25 years old. The finish is French Polish.” – Dake.
You probably know Dake Traphagen's name from pro players such as Scott Tennant, Pepe Romero and others. But let us tell you just how special these guitars are. You can play this guitar next to any in the world and you will be amazed at the lively response and energy. Dake's bass notes are extremely satisfying, round and warm. The trebles on this guitar, including the G string, are very strong and lyrical. This is the kind of instrument that really makes you scratch your head and wonder how it's possible. But here it is... 
This is one of the top five guitars I've ever had the pleasure to play. It comes alive in your hands and projects better than most with rich basses and clear mids and trebles. The perfect concert classical. | Scale Length | 25.79 in |
