When I phoned Jeff about this guitar he remembered it fondly and said it was a great one. I emphatically agree. Al Petteway and I have marveled at the balance of this instrument. It has Jeff’s trademark highly figured Brazilian paired with German Spruce and includes a cutaway and a Calton Case. One of the most collectible of guitars and for very good reason.
We are often asked if there is such a big difference in a Traugott guitar that makes them so highly sought after and the answer is simply, yes. We can only guess that Jeff has superb ears, because there is a clarity and balance in his instruments that is all his own. The fullness of the treble strings and the round shape of the bass notes are also inspiring. He was one of the first builders to use a simple, understated aesthetic, letting wood and tone tell the story of his instruments. The name Traugott is now synonymous with collectible, but you'll want to play this one. Fine Brazilian Rosewood guitars should continue to beat wall street, and this is sure a lot more fun than a stock. | Scale Length | 25.4 in |
