8 years after the Ty Tabor 1.0 was introduced, luthier John Guilford has applied many new changes to the model to make the 2.0 version what it is. Those changes include a reduced neck heel shape for better access to the upper register frets, Stainless Steel Frets - for better durability and a crisp tone, dual graphite rods installed in the neck for way better stability and tone transfer to the body, CTS Low Torque Pots - for the best volume swells you've ever had, John Mann 2300 stoptail bridge - increases the sustain and tone, Volume treble bleed circuit - for better clarity when the volume is turned down low, Poly/Urethane lacquer - for durability and more accurate color, Gotoh tuning machines - for the smoothest possible tuning.
