New Traphagen 000-12, Brazilian/Carpathian - Dealer Post
It’s been too long since we’ve had a brand new steel string from Dake Traphagen in the shop! This brand new 000-12 BRS is just what we’ve come to expect from Dake, too: enveloping overtones, smooth response, and clarity, clarity, clarity. We have great respect for a luthier who’s equally at home with steel strings as nylon strings, because we find that the skills required for one complement the other in interesting ways.
This 000-12 has an easy, round quality to its voice that is reminiscent of the bass strings on a classical, but with added bite in the mids and trebles. The neck is a flattened C shape, and is Spirit Varnished liked the rest of the guitar to a glossy sheen. Traphagen’s French Polish game is seriously on point, and it leaves the top extra resonant and responsive. Dake chose an ancient, 250-year-old set of Brazilian Rosewood for the back and sides, and lined the sides with a thin layer of Spanish Cypress (stained brown to match) for extra stiffness without adding too much mass. A creamy set of Carpathian Spruce on top, with a gorgeous Maple Burl rosette, completes the package. A guitar of this calibre, it’s love at first pluck.
