This is as far as we know, the only Mahogany Guitar Jeff Traugott has ever built. It was a custom project that Jeff really got into. He was excited to try his hand with this classic wood and did it ever work. This BK, Jeff’s largest body size, really has a cavernous voice with wonderful projection. The bass has the woody and clear Mahogany character and the treble fire as quick as a bullet. All of the Traugott clarity and richness are present but the Mahogany is more immediate and responsive. Great guitar for the player who want the Traugott character but maybe plays more Blues or other styles where quick response is key. A terrific guitar. From Jeff Traugott: “I don’t usually comment on my guitars but with this instrument I felt compelled to say a few words. I love this guitar and wanted to keep it when it was completed! This will be the guitar I make for myself when time allows. There is something very special about it, give it a try, it is calling out to be played and believe me when I say, it won’t let you down whatever your style! Lastly, I don’t have any price difference for woods when ordering a Traugott guitar so the price makes this really worth checking out! Thanks, Jeff Traugott“
I had heard about this project some time ago, Jeff was asked to build a Mahogany guitar instead of his usual Brazilian and he jumped at the chance to do something different. The results are spectacular, this guitar has all the trademark Traugott clarity but with a really active bass response and shimmering trebles. It is perfect for fingerstyle and well suited for hard hitting styles or pretty pieces. The Mahogany character really shines through and makes this a unique Traugott and as the only one he's ever done in this wood, it's exceptionally rare. 
This is an amazing instrument. I'm a big fan of Jeff Traugott's guitars to begin with, but I've never played one with mahogany back and sides. The tone is pure and clear with some extra sparkle on the high end without sacrificing the rich bass notes. This sound of this one ranks up there with my all-time favorite Traugott guitars. | Scale Length | 25.38 in |
