Options for Traphagen Guitars

String Spacings
Almost any string spacing can be customized to fit a player's hand, as can the neck's shape, width, and thickness.
Multi String Guitars
Both seven or eight string guitars are available with either standard dimensions or special requirements. Almost all multi-stringed players want a different string spacing. Your needs can be accommodated.
Rosettes
All rosettes are custom made in a modern style. The materials and style may vary from year to year depending on my inspiration.
Double tops

Double tops or sometimes called sandwich tops have been used for almost twenty years now. The design is a combination of strategically placed solid wood combined with a honeycomb material called Nomex, sandwiched between two thin layers/tops of wood. This design makes the overall completed top much lighter weight thus allowing it to vibrate more easily. This in turn means the player can use less energy to achieve the same volume as a solid top design.
Bracing
Can be made for either right or left handed players.
Amplification
I generally use K&K pick ups but the customer can request any pickup they prefer.
Cases
All instruments come with a double arched hard shell case. Karura, Hoffee, and Accord cases can be purchased in a variety of colors. For prices please inquire.
