One of those rare instruments that does it all so well, this 2000 Model R from Jeff Traugott excels on all metrics. Smooth playability and neck profile, premium tonewoods, wide awake voice with a dancer’s balance and a mathematician’s precision–the question is, how do you get anything else done with this beauty in your life? Those aforementioned tonewoods are Jeff’s classic combination of Brazilian Rosewood and German Spruce, but here we have the added distinction of a set of his coveted Kentucky Stash Brazilian Rosewood. It’s brick red, straight grained, and offers glassy clarity and depth in a lightweight playing package.
Seriously, we tried to make bad music with this Model R. Couldn’t do it. Even the wrong notes sang out right.

Jeff Traugott thinks so much about this Kentucky stash Brazilian rosewood that he has been known to buy a few back from previous customers. These are that good. 
This beauty has opened up handsomely! In particular the bass register has sweetened up, and the mids have a lovely blooming quality that's rich but clear. Being Jeff's Kentucky Stash BRW, with German Spruce on top, this Model R is seriously rare and collectable too. | Scale Length | 25.4 in |
