{"product_id":"raymond-kraut-mod-d-model","title":"2026 Raymond Kraut Ironwood Mod-D Model + Cutaway","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhat does a dreadnought look and sound like when a restless innovator gets his hands on it? Something like the Mod D + cutaway — master luthier Raymond Kraut's largest-bodied instrument, its waist shifted forward toward a classical silhouette, its bracing and sound ports unlike anything else on the wall. Trained at the Robert-Venn School of Lutherie and apprenticed under the legendary Ervin Somogyi, Kraut builds super-responsive guitars that give players back exactly what they put in: rich, piano-like tone with extraordinary dynamic range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWith an astonishing architecture that recalls Frank Lloyd Wright more than a traditional dreadnought, this guitar looks like it should be in a museum, but it sounds and plays like an instrument by a renowned, world-class luthier should. Premiered at the Fretboard Summit in 2026, this guitar was the belle of the ball. And pictures do not do it justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuild \u0026amp; Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop: Swiss Moon Spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack \u0026amp; Sides: Desert Ironwood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretboard, Bridge \u0026amp; Peghead Veneers: Desert Ironwood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut \u0026amp; Saddle: bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: nitrocellulose lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArchitectural sound port design with an additional elongated sound port and baffle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBold cutaways and modern bracing in the upper bout — no two Kraut guitars are exactly alike\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize \u0026amp; Feel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale length: 25 1\/4\" | Nut width: 1 25\/32\" | String spacing at bridge: 2 1\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEVO fretwire | GOTOH tuners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes Visesnut case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandcrafted by Master Luthier Raymond Kraut (Mod D), trained under Ervin Somogyi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIn stock now at Wood \u0026amp; Wire.
