1970s Travis Bean TB1000 Artiste

Only 755 tb 1000 koa artists were made.

A most profound and rare guitar, Travis Bean TB1000 Artiste, has entered the collection in 2009. Very flamey koa top. This one is in very good condition and is light weight. More pleasant discoveries were made once we wrangled it back to the house, such as all original parts and original case.

Overall Rating : 10
I've been at it for 35 years off and on and have owned a bunch of guitars and amps. ES 175, 64 Firebird III, 60s Strat, and a couple of custom made Brian Monty chambered electrics. This guitar sounds different. Not better but definitely louder. It lets me do some things the others don't. Very sensitive to harmonics (Billy Gibbons squankin') and fun to play. My buddy who plays PRS guitars says playing this Bean is like driving a Ferrari....
