We knew we were in for a treat the moment we opened the case. It’s not often we have an opportunity to visit with an older Traugott (here from 1997) that’s been played in and opened up, and this is only the second one we’ve ever seen in Indian Rosewood. Which, while we’re on the subject, in no way diminishes the voice on this one compared with its BRW siblings: the trademark Traugott clarity, precision, and projection are here in full force. Additionally, the Sitka Spruce has had over two decades of music poured through it, and it shows; the trebles have a juicy presence that cuts through the mix. This is Jeff’s larger BK body, moreover, which lends an extra helping of power and sustain while remaining a comfortable and easy-playing instrument (weighing in at a scant 4lbs 3oz).
It’s a powerhouse, plain and simple. Ready to have a Traugott in your life? This one is a steal of a deal.

What a blast. An older guitar from Jeff Traugott that you would swear is Brazilian Rosewood based on the voice. But being Indian Rosewood you can carry it anywhere in the world and you’ll love the sound wherever you go, I promise. | Scale Length | 25.4 in |
