Raymond Kraut’s 00 is quick, nimble, and effortless. Suited up with Brazilian Rosewood and European Spruce, this 2016 model marries smooth response with a sweet bass register and well developed trebles. You’ll find a 14-fret neck and a 24.9” short scale fretboard, with a 1 25/32” nut for a touch extra room for complex chord shapes and this bigger stretches. Alessi tuners, one of Ray’s bespoke rosettes, Hoffee flight case, and like new condition make this an incredible find.
