Triggs Stromberg Master 400 18" Archtop Blonde 2014
Fees & taxes
This beautiful 18-inch Archtop by Jim and Ryan Triggs is a modern interpretation of the Stromberg Master 400, an impressive guitar renowned for its powerful sound and unparalleled acoustic projection.
This version by Triggs features a solid spruce top supported by parallel bracing, whereas the original Stromberg had single diagonal bracing. The equally solid figured maple body and neck are simply a feast for the eyes! Decorative details such as the bound ebony pickguard and engraved tailpiece complete this 2014 Triggs. In addition to light signs of wear from playing, the guitar also features checked finish in several places, and is undoubtedly a guitar that begs to be played even more!
Jim Triggs has been building string instruments for over forty years and currently works with his son Ryan in their workshop in Kansas City, where they jointly build instruments that excel in both craftsmanship and sound. When Gibson discovered his craftsmanship in 1986, Triggs had already built some 150 instruments, and over the course of his career, he has since crafted over 1,000 hand-built instruments, including archtop and flattop guitars and mandolins for renowned artists.
Triggs instruments enjoy worldwide prestige and are often regarded by collectors and musicians as sound investments and exceptional examples of modern American guitar making.
