Exc. Condition. This is the only blonde-top cutaway Trail Boss that Kopp has made. Top is very clean, but has several polite touch marks. The back, sides and neck are all in really great shape. No marks, no fret wear.
     Sitka Spruce top. Mahogany back, sides and neck. Top has 6-ply Ivoroid binding. Back has 4-ply Ivoroid binding. Neck and peghhead have single Ivoroid binding. Radiused Gabon Ebony fingerboard with small Pearl dot inlays. Brazilian Rosewood bridge. Nickel Waverly tuners.
     1 3/4" width at nut. 25 1/2" scale length. 12-fret neck joint.
     This guitar has a huge low end with good treble and mid-range balance. Great open tone for finger-picking. Moving the 12-fret joint spaces the bridge further away from the soundhole 1 3/8 inches to allow for a different timbre in the attack which is very rich and satisfying. This is a very nice, low price for such a fine, hand-made guitar. Leo Kottke has owned 3 Kopp Trail Boss guitars for several years now and there are some You Tube videos of him playing them.
