A note about the guitar's condition
This 2023 Tuttle Vintage Classic S is in mint condition.
At 7 lbs 14 oz, it strikes the perfect balance between lightweight comfort and a solid, resonant feel.
The body offers a lively acoustic ring that comes through with clarity, warmth, and impressive sustain. It is the kind of guitar that feels alive in your hands before you even plug it in!
Vintage Roots, Modern Refinement
The Tuttle Vintage Classic S is Michael Tuttle’s masterful interpretation of the iconic Stratocaster, blending timeless vintage character with modern precision. Built entirely by hand in Tuttle’s California workshop, each Classic S reflects a level of craftsmanship that delivers exceptional playability, flawless fretwork, and a musical responsiveness that stands out the moment you plug in.
This model captures the soul of a great early-60s Strat-style instrument while offering the consistency and reliability today’s players expect. The expertly shaped neck, hand-rolled fretboard edges, and immaculate fret dressing create a comfortable, broken-in feel from the very first chord. The hand-wound pickups provide chime, punch, and articulation across all positions, making this guitar versatile for blues, rock, funk, worship, or studio work.
A Player’s Instrument, Built by a True Master
Michael Tuttle is widely regarded as one of the finest guitar builders and fretworkers working today. The Classic S showcases his signature balance of tone, comfort, and craftsmanship. Smooth, responsive, and tonally rich, this guitar encourages longer playing sessions and deeper musical exploration.
Whether you are seeking a reliable touring instrument, a studio workhorse, or your first boutique S-style guitar, this Candy Apple Red Classic S is an exceptional example of Tuttle’s artistry.
