Here is the latest and greatest guitar from the esteemed American luthier Dake Traphagen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003eIt’s no secret that many luthiers are inspired by Francisco Simplicio’s guitars (the great Spanish\/Barcelona maker of the early 1900’s). It’s that enchanting bass, and lovely velvety character with complex overtones they are after. But many fall quite short. In my opinion, that’s usually with the trebles, they just don’t always live up to the expectations that the gorgeous bass sets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003eThat’s not the case with the guitar. It’s basses are magical, so magical that you forget to play the trebles, but when you do, you are reminded that there is another world to discover there. Simply magical. Please just have a listen to the video.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003eThis one is brand new from Dake and I’m thankful he gave me the opportunity to represent it. I’ve had a few of his guitars now and was excited to make this video, as I’m very fond of both Dake’s instruments, and Simplicio’s instruments, which this guitar’s bracing is inspired by.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003eIt also has modern appointments, like a soundport, which comes with a “plug”. Check out the “open vs closed” comparison I made in my Youtube review of this guitar. I tend to prefer it open, but it’s nice to have the option!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003eHere are the quite astonish specs, please note the age of the Spruce and Rosewood!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eSpecs:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003e70 year old Indian rosewood back and sides\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003e35+ year old German spruce top\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003e650mm scale\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003e52mm wide nut\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003eEbony fretboard\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003eSpanish cedar neck\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003e650mm Scale\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003e52mm nut width\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003eFrench polish finish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003eBrazilian rosewood bridge\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003eCrossrock fiberglass case\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003eDake's guitars don't seem to stick around long, so if you're looking for a great new instrument and are captivated by the sound as I am, snag this one!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Guitar Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50601538224420,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/1543\/9652\/files\/Traphagen2024.jpg?v=1745966648","url":"https:\/\/guitarcollection.myshopify.com\/products\/dake-traphagen-simplicio-2024-spruce-indian-rosewood","provider":"Guitar Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
