We’ve seen a number of Jeff’s R models come through the shop, and a fair number of his BKs too, but only rarely have we had the chance to see a 00. And that’s a shame, because this number from 2008 is here to tell us that Jeff has perfected the small body guitar just as handily as he has the medium and the large. What an exquisite voice, lovely balance across the registers and equal parts energetic and elegant. Lots of projection under the hood, ready to burst out of the soundhole with even a light attack. It’s really a wonderful example of Jeff’s lutherie chops. The classic Traugott combination of German Spruce over Brazilian Rosewood is here in full force; combined with a 24.9” scale, 1 3.4” nut, and 2 3/8” saddle spacing for a spacious, comfortable righthand experience. Try and find a bad note on this guitar, we dare you.
Here’s an additional demo with our own Al Petteway the last time we saw this guitar: https://youtu.be/bNO0–1kZNc.

I can't believe the big voice that comes out of this small, easy to hold Traugott 00. It has nearly all the power of his popular Model R and superb balance as well. His wood combination of choice, Brazilian and German, is something he really knows how to do and it gives this guitar a full bodied, lively response that is at the very top of the guitar food-chain. 
This one really wowed me. Excellent depth and dynamic range, superb clarity and responsiveness. The voice is characterized by balance, expansive overtones, and the perfect combination of sweetness and power, all in an easy-playing 00 package. Well done, Jeff. 
I've never played a Traugott 00 before and I must say that I can see why Jeff Traugott is considered at the top of his game. This is among the best guitars I've ever had the privilege of playing. t just can't be done any better than this. | Scale Length | 24.9 in |
