Description

A superb T style guitar built by top German luthier Rainer Tausch.
Meticulously built with the absolute attention to even the smallest detail.
There are features on this guitar that won't be found even on the top Californian custom shop guitars.
Hollow body with glued in neck joint with full length sustain block.
Highly figure maple neck with 9.5 to 12.5 compound radius.
Classic '59 C neck shape.
26 3/16 inch scale length.
HSH Häussel pickups with coil tap, with unique body mounting design aids tonal transmission and sustain.
Sperzel Trim Lok tuners.
Callaghan Vintage tremolo with screw in arm with Tausch custom hardwood sustain block with special spring ferrels set in a specially angled tremolo block cavity.
Weight, slightly 6 lb, 2 oz.
Hiscox case.

Fabulous natural resonance augmented by pickups built by the great Harry Haussel.
Unique matt finish with Shelby style racing stripes. Even the tremolo cavity is perfectly painted!

This may look like a Telecaster but there the similarities end.
The slightly longer scale length remains comfortable low on the fingerboard but high end note articulation is much easier and the guitar will handle dropped tuning really well with the longer scale length since string tension is very slightly increased, again helping sustain. The vintage Callaghan tremolo is a top brand and very reliable adding to transmission of vibration from the bridges to the body. It's all subtle but makes a difference!
There is plenty of snap from the flame maple neck to keep Country pickers happy too.
The guitar,s natural resonance promotes playing with cleaner tones than one would usually consider but the guitar sings on gained out tones, and notes remain clear, defined, and touch sensitive, perfect for sensitive players and blues guitarists.
Direct this guitar is around £4800 new in this specification. It is available with no wait, and no heavy import costs.
Rainer Tausch only produces around two dozen guitars per year. They are highly regarded in Tausch’s main markets of Germany and USA.
Not to be missed.
