This is a guitar that nails every detail and somehow still manages to feel relaxed and approachable. If you’ve been waiting for a modern T-style that delivers everything, this is the one.

If you're already deep into the boutique electric world, Michael Tuttle likely needs no introduction. But if his name is new to you, know this: he’s one of the most respected builders working today. With roots at Valley Arts and Don Grosh Guitars, and a reputation for absolutely dialed-in builds, Michael’s guitars are as effortlessly playable as they are expertly built.

Yes, his fretwork is legendary - typically stainless, always perfect (nickel in this case however) - but his instruments are far more than just a great fret dress. Case in point: this heavily relic'd Vintage White Classic T (which might just ruin you for other T-style guitars).

With an alder body, maple neck & Indian rosewood fingerboard, and Tuttle’s own custom pickups and bridge (featuring mixed saddles for ideal twang and intonation), this Classic T hits that perfect balance of liveliness and control. It weighs in at just 6lbs 14oz, and the C-shaped neck (.84") feels instantly comfy and fast. Pair that with a vintage leaning 7 1/4" radius, oiled neck finish, and those flawless frets, and you’ve got a neck that plays like a dream - fast, smooth, and entirely un-fussy.

What really stands out is how cooperative this guitar feels. There's no fight here. It goes where you want it to go, responds to every touch, and just makes you want to keep playing. It’s not just easy -it’s super fun.

Plug it in, and things get even better. The Tuttle "PD" in the neck is clear and open, but with just a bit more punch and depth than your average Tele neck pickup. And the bridge pickup? All the twang you could ask for, but without a trace of harshness. It’s muscular, focused, and ready to rip.
