“Michael Tobias Design” (MTD) has leveraged its expertise, backed by extensive experience in acoustic instruments,

to consistently stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the world’s most renowned manufacturers since its founding in 1994, establishing the term “high-end bass” in the industry.

The asymmetrical neck shape, formed through unparalleled woodworking and entirely hand-carved without the use of machinery,

brings vivid inspiration to each individual instrument and offers the ultimate advantage as a musical tool.

This instrument was manufactured in 2009. While it shows signs of wear from active use on the front lines, it has achieved a mature, well-rounded sound precisely because of that.

The wood configuration features a walnut top, ash back, ash neck, and a bird’s-eye maple fingerboard.

The beauty of the wood grain and the rich, deep color of walnut—which is highly popular—go without saying, but the slightly subdued tone is also one of its charms.

The combination with ash is one of my personal favorites.

The ash neck is one of this model’s key selling points, and I find myself writing similar praise every time a guitar with this spec arrives.

I highly recommend experiencing this configuration firsthand, as it offers a unique look and sound that you won’t find or experience with other brands.

The fact that other companies don’t offer this spec may be due to various factors, such as wood sourcing.

However, MTD has adopted and commercialized it, making it a standout feature that can only be experienced with MTD.

In terms of condition, it shows some wear. The neck and body, which originally had a satin finish, have areas where the finish has worn off to reveal a sheen, and there are dents and marks in various places.

The frets are worn in some areas, but at this point, they do not need to be replaced and are still playable.

It’s immediately apparent that this guitar has seen active use on the front lines; its slightly rounded, full-bodied sound is the result of being well-played.

Don’t miss out.
