Have you ever picked up an instrument that you just can't put down? That's how people feel about the new Tradition. At just 13oz with the balance point exactly at the neck/body joint, and with the smooth matte finish, this instrument feels like it looks. The tone is wonderful with great sustain, and the intonation is perfect all the way to it's 15th fret. The geared Peghed tuners give that classic look but with the tuning ease of a machine tuner.
Hand-crafted in the USA by Gordon & Char Mayer. Each instrument is numbered & signed.
