Travis Bean TB500MM.


She is an amazing guitar. She’s huge and dark. Low action and she plays like a dream. Very unique dark bubbly tone! Very minimal to no fret wear. No major dings or scuffs. She’s been loved and cared for. Only had her on stage a handful of times. I am the second owner. I contacted Travis Bean Designs and they told me that the serial number is number 6. I’m not in a hurry to sell her so don’t waste our time with lowball offers. This Guitar is very unique and very rare. The hand signed pickups are unique to this guitar and I think they were done by MM or KB. I have NEVER seen another like this for sale on reverb.
