1919 Guitars Tudor I – Precision. Simplicity. Soul.
The Tudor I by 1919 Guitars is a masterclass in minimalist design and tone-rich execution, paying homage to the classic T-style silhouette while pushing performance into modern territory. Crafted with an ultra-light American sycamore body, the Tudor I keeps your set comfortable and fatigue-free, tipping the scales at under 6 lbs on average — without sacrificing resonance or sustain.
At its heart is a Seymour Duncan Little '59 in the bridge position, offering fat, PAF-style humbucker tones in a single-coil-sized package. From gritty cleans to growling overdrive, this pickup covers serious ground. A single volume knob controls it all — but don’t be fooled by the simplicity. Inside, you’ll find Bloom Guitars’ signature treble bleed circuit that keeps your highs clear at any volume, and a push/pull pot for coil-splitting, instantly shifting from humbucking heft to single-coil snap.
Built for rock-solid tuning stability, the Grover Rotomatic tuners and Wilkinson bridge keep your intonation dialed in, while the roasted maple neck provides a stable, responsive feel with a touch of vintage warmth. The Graphtec Tusq nut ensures smooth string action and tonal consistency, and a modern Electrosocket jack adds durability and sleek looks where it counts.
Finished in a raw and resonant open-grain satin nitrocellulose, the Tudor I feels alive in your hands — thin enough to breathe, but tough enough to gig. It’s a guitar that feels broken-in from day one, with timeless tone and no-nonsense design.
