TK Smith

TK Smith Road Master

Paul Bigsby acolyte and builder to such esteemed players as JD McPherson, TK Smith finally made the journey from Yucca Valley, CA, to Nashville NAMM, where he unveiled his most affordable guitar to date. At around half the price of his more ornate custom guitars, the Road Master (approx. $6,000) features a chambered maple body, 25" scale, ebony fretboard, and the same fancy cast-metal tremolo as in higher-end models.
