Our favorite guitars are those which fill us with childlike wonder. When a guitar makes you forget about the outside world, when you’re relaxed and excited simultaneously at the possibilities waiting along the fretboard beneath your fingers. Playing this brand new Kraut Mod D, it’s like breathing. Ray’s neck profile is slim, the setup glassy, and the 25.25” scale has a touch of added warmth in the lower mids to fill out the voice. From treble to bass, frets one to 20, this Kraut sings and rings like a piano. We love the consistent response across all the registers. There are no dead notes, no wolf tones, just smooth definition and clarity.
Madagascar Rosewood makes up the back and sides, as well as the fretboard and headstock veneer, and is paired with a pale Swiss Moonspruce top with Maple trim and Ray’s hallmark segmented Burl rosette. This guitar only weighs 4lbs 6oz, and projects each note easily at a light touch, and can also handle a more aggressive attack with aplomb.
A guitar like this is a form of inspiration that we don’t want to part with, sustained acoustic expression. Our brand new Kraut Mod D is a guitar with an immense amount to give.
