For Sale: 2013 jeff Traugott Bk cutaway

[jazzbobh]

There are lots of great builders out there but my personal favorite is Jeff Traugott. In a word, brilliant. This is a 2013 Traugott BK cutaway. This guitar easily beat and exceeded all of my expectations. First thing I noticed when I picked it up was how light it was. Probably why it’s so resonant. Playability is wonderful. Craftsmanship is as good as it gets. Sounds amazing in standard tuning and heavenly in alternate tunings. The guitar features a German spruce top and Brazilian back and sides. Just a stunner!! This guitar has tons of volume and sustain. Extremely will balanced and versatile. You can play any style on this baby. The guitar is in excellent condition. A few tiny dings and scratches but nothing major. An easy 9 out of 10 if not better. Comes with a Hoffee case (it has some marks on the outside) but overall it’s in excellent condition as well.

I owned a 2013 R Traugott, it was easily one of the best guitars I've ever played... Glad I have that memory, and it pains me too, LOL, wish I still had he!

[jazzbobh]

i had a few questions on trades
I priced this guitar as a cash deal and plan to stick to that at least for now

amazing guitar by the way!!

Im surprised dealers haven't pounced on this, just goes to show what excessive mark up they strive for.

Nah, I'd think the market is SO bad that laying out 17500 for a small return may not be worth the wait it may take to sell.... its a lot of money to tie up.
Absolutely beautiful guitar !! If I could justify 17500 on a guitar instead of putting in my 401K it would be mine.

A dealer would charge 20K or more for this guitar.
I am trying to sell direct and get someone a deal
I did talk to a dealer and he just sold the two he had for sale
much higher price

if I have to, I will consign at the higher price. but not yet

so still available
