A piece of heaven from one of American lutherie’s greatest: this 2013 00-30 from T.J. Thompson. Brick-red Brazilian Rosewood back and sides with Adirondack Spruce top, a gorgeous tobacco sunburst, colorful marquetry trim and 12-fret neck; bespoke “flag” bridge and banjo tuners–a work of functional art. In true T.J. fashion, the unbound fingerboard utlizes bar frets, and the overall weight comes in right at four pounds. The finish has been removed from the back of the neck for an instantly familiar feel. This T.J. Thompson 00-30 is an heirloom instrument, the centerpiece of your lifetime collection.

It's no surprise that T.J. Thomson could create one of the most powerful small body guitars I've ever played. This 00 model has a lot of energy and feels great as you play it. I absolutely adore the sunburst finish. Like everything T.J. does, this is magic. 
I've never seen one quite like it, nor do I expect to. This may be the only 30-style T.J.'s built in a 00 size, complete with flag bridge and sunburst. I love how he left the back and sides' finish matte, it allows the dramatic coloration of the Brazilian Rosewood to really pop. | Scale Length | 25.4 in |
