Here we have a gorgeous Jeff Traugott Model R owned by Al Petteway. He is regrettably letting this one go to the good fortune of our customers. The voice of this guitar is simply majestic, big and strong with Jeff’s trademark amazing balance and clarity on every fret. It also has some really magical sustain and notes blossom out of the soundhole. The pictures can best describe the beauty of the Brazilian Rosewood with it’s figure like strands of hair and the top has just enough bearclaw to peak the interest. We are thrilled to have this fine Traugott from Al’s private stash.

Here is a rare Jumbo from premier Luthier Jeff Traugott with quite an astonishing voice. All the Traugott clarity and beauty only more of it. Tremendous bass coupled with powerful trebles that are among the most lyrical we know of. Everyone who plays a Traugott in our shop is immediately struck with how unique and special they are. This one features a gorgeous set of Brazilian Rosewood and a silky German Spruce top with just enough bearclaw to give it character. This is a very rare model from one of the most collectible builders out there.

Al and I have probably played more Traugott guitars than most people on the planet and we can honestly tell you that this one is special. The voice is simply magical, the perfect balance of rich, substantial trebles and warm, round bass. Every note from the Brazilian Rosewood/German Spruce body is articulate and refined. I’ve had the joy of watching many non-believers jaw drop as they play a Traugott and realize the difference is for real. The short scale makes it a joy to play all night long. This one had a minor repair during construction and so is also very reasonably priced for one of the best guitars you’ll ever play. Comes complete with a Calton and a McIntyre pickup installed.

The BK model embodies Jeff’s trademark clarity and balance and adds a bit more bottom end and power. This particular guitar has all the mojo and a voice that takes you away and makes you wonder how Jeff does it. Customers are constantly amazed at just how different Traugott guitars are and how immediately you sense it. There is a reason they are so highly sought after. This is a dead mint version of the most collectible of guitars and it sports an incredible set of Brazilian Rosewood.

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.

Here we have a rare 12 fret Traugott Model R. With the bridge in the “sweet spot”, the increased response is noticeable right away. This is a very well cared for ten year old Traugott that is fully mature and speaking. Jeff’s trademark clarity and separation are evident here and the overall voice is intimate and makes this an excellent recording guitar or everyday musical partner.

Dennis Scannell’s True North guitars have an unerring accuracy and clarity that makes for exquisite acoustic detail. This 2007 Model 2 is the perfect fingerstylist’s tool. Brazilian Rosewood back and sides (arrow-straight grain), “Lucky Strike” Redwood, and a 25.8” scale all come together in a rich, resonant voice that’s perfect for altered tuning territory. The Grand Auditorium body shape gives extra depth to the bass response, but this True North still plays handsomely and without effort; it rewards a light attack with a lush splay of overtones across the mids and trebles. This one features Dennis’s Platinum Upgrade P ackage, which includes a tapered body, Calton flight case, semi-hemispherical fret ends, and a double graphite-reinforced neck.
Good luck trying to play a bad note on this powerhouse True North guitar.
