The Story Behind the Guitar

Some Sounds Stay
With You Forever

"Like that one summer you'll never forget — it comes back the moment you hear it."

Everyone carries a summer they can't shake loose. Sun-soaked afternoons. Warm evenings that felt like they'd never end. The kind of days that turn into memories before they're even over. The Summer Series is built around that feeling — and the sound that belongs to it.

All-solid Sitka Spruce on top. All-solid East Indian Rosewood on back and sides. This is the same combination that defined the golden age of acoustic guitar — articulate on top, deep and complex underneath, with a sustain that keeps ringing long after you've lifted your fingers from the strings.

The Summer Series keeps the classic proportions intact. Trumon's signature TFL Florentine pointed-cutaway body shape adds visual elegance and upper-fret access without sacrificing an ounce of resonance. The moment you play the first open chord, you'll hear exactly what we mean.

— Summer Series. The sound that stays.

The Classic Pairing

Why Sitka & Rosewood?

Ask any serious acoustic player what the ideal tonewood combination looks like, and most will give you the same answer: Sitka Spruce top, Rosewood back and sides. Here's why that answer hasn't changed in over 60 years.

All-Solid Tonewoods

No Laminates.
No Compromises.

Every single Summer Series guitar is built with 100% solid tonewoods from top to back and sides. Solid wood breathes differently than laminate — it resonates more freely, responds faster to your touch, and improves with age.

Top (Soundboard)

All-Solid Sitka Spruce

Industry Standard Top

The most widely respected acoustic guitar top wood in the world. Sitka Spruce delivers an exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio, wide dynamic headroom, and a focused, articulate midrange that cuts clearly in any mix — whether you're fingerpicking quietly or strumming hard.

Back & Sides

All-Solid East Indian Rosewood

Premium Resonance

East Indian Rosewood produces a wide frequency range with deep, controlled lows and sparkling, bell-like highs. The sustain is long and natural. Chords bloom and decay with complexity. Single notes ring with a clarity that's almost piano-like. This is the tonewood that sets the Summer Series apart.

Fingerboard & Bridge

Rosewood

Fast & Smooth Feel

Dense, smooth Rosewood gives you a fast playing surface with a slightly warm, organic feel under the fingers. Its density adds tonal depth to every note, and its natural oils keep the board conditioned without constant maintenance.

Tonal Character

Deep, Complex.
Unmistakably Premium.

Low End Deep & Controlled

Mid Range Clear & Defined

High End Glassy & Extended

Sustain Long & Natural

Dynamic Range Intimate to Powerful

Rosewood's Signature Depth Deep, wide lows that don't get muddy. East Indian Rosewood keeps the bass frequencies controlled and articulate — your chord shapes stay clear even in the low register.
Glassy, Extended Highs Rosewood's high-frequency response is distinctive — bright without being harsh, clear without being thin. Fingerpicked melodies shimmer. Harmonics ring with uncommon clarity.
Long, Piano-Like Sustain Notes don't just ring — they bloom. The natural density of solid rosewood keeps each note alive longer, giving your playing a resonant, singing quality that's hard to achieve any other way.
Gets Better With Time Solid tonewoods open up as they age. The Summer Series you play today will sound richer and more responsive five years from now than it does on day one.

Signature Artwork

Wearing Summer on Every Fret

Summer Solstice Inlays —
Deep Sea Abalone & White Pearl Shell

The Summer Series fingerboard inlays are designed to evoke the feeling of a perfect summer afternoon — each position marker hand-set in Deep Sea Abalone and White Pearl Shell. The iridescent materials shift color with the light, catching your eye differently every time you pick the guitar up.

On the TF and TFL models, the Florentine body silhouette carries that same elegant, flowing energy. It's the kind of visual detail that makes the Summer Series as satisfying to look at as it is to play.

Craftsmanship Details

Built to the Same Standard
as Guitars Twice the Price.

Premium tonewoods deserve hardware and components that can keep up. Every part on the Summer Series is chosen to perform — not just to fill a spec sheet.

🦴

Bone Nut & Saddle

Genuine bone is the gold standard for nuts and saddles. It transfers vibration more efficiently than plastic, extends open-string sustain, and gives each string a cleaner, more defined attack. You notice the difference immediately when you play open chords.

🎸

5-Piece Through Mahogany Neck

Multi-piece neck construction dramatically improves long-term stability. Seasonal humidity and temperature changes affect solid wood — a 5-piece laminated neck resists warping and maintains a consistent playing feel across years of use.

⚙️

High-Precision Gold-Plated Tuners

High gear-ratio tuning machines give you precise control when tuning up. Smooth action means micro-adjustments are easy, and the guitar stays in tune reliably through a full session — whether you're playing live or recording.

🎵

M1 PRO Cat-Claw Pickup (Available)

Need to plug in? The M1 PRO professional-grade undersaddle pickup is available as an add-on. It captures the Summer Series' natural acoustic voice cleanly — minimal coloration, low feedback sensitivity, and ready for the stage from day one.

🎶

D'Addario XS Coated Strings (12–53)

Every Summer Series ships with D'Addario XS phosphor bronze coated strings — the same strings professionals use. Coated construction extends string life significantly, while the phosphor bronze alloy delivers balanced tone with a bright, musical character from the very first play.

✨

Gloss Natural Finish

The high-gloss natural finish lets the East Indian Rosewood's deep, reddish-brown grain speak for itself. There's no stain, no color masking — just the wood as it is. The result is a guitar that looks more expensive than it is and sounds even better than it looks.

Choose Your Shape

Same Tonewoods.
Three Ways to Play.

All three Summer Series models are built with identical tonewood combinations and craftsmanship standards. Pick the body shape that fits how you play.

Dreadnought

Summer 1988D

41" · Standard Dreadnought

The dreadnought is the most powerful acoustic body shape ever built. Big volume, strong projection, and a full-range tonal response that fills a room. If you strum hard and want to be heard, this is your shape.

$999

Florentine

Summer 1988TF

41" · Florentine Body

The Florentine silhouette brings elegant, balanced proportions to a full 41" body. Slightly more focused tone than the dreadnought, with a refined midrange that works beautifully for fingerpicking, chord melody, and singer-songwriter playing.

$999

Florentine Cutaway

Summer 1988TFL

41" · Grand Florentine with Pointed Cutaway

Trumon's signature pointed Florentine cutaway gives you unrestricted access to every fret on the neck — without the tonal trade-offs of a conventional rounded cutaway. Full resonance in the body. Full range on the fingerboard.
