Very clean Preowned TAUSCH 665 Deluxe in Lemon Burst !

Tausch electric guitars are designed by luthier Rainer Tausch, who hand-selects each piece of wood for his instruments with a focus on sustainable resources. Hand-built in Bavaria, Germany by a small team of 10 employees, all Tausch electric guitars are meticulously crafted to provide a characteristic sound and perfection-oriented design, down to the smallest details.

With a background in professional carpentry as a cabinet maker, Tausch officially launched his boutique guitar brand over 25 years ago, with the release of his 665 model. But, for a woodworker who made his first guitar at 12 years old in his grandfather’s woodshop—using an axe handle he shaped into a neck (onto which he then nailed a fretboard!)—you might say that Tausch has been a luthier for as long as he’s been a guitar player, professional carpentry skills aside.  

With an eye for gorgeous tonewoods that are as pleasing, aesthetically, to any onlooker’s eyes as they are to any musician’s ears, Tausch guitars combine the builder’s woodworking heart with his performing experiences as a musician, bringing it all together into his unique, boutique electric guitar playing experience.

"Born in 1968, I grew up in a time when electric guitars were playing a central role in contemporary music. Due to its fantastic versatility, easy handling and the possibility of producing enormous loudness, the electric guitar was an ideally suited tool for the players of the still young rock music genre.

Totally fascinated by electric guitars, I started with my first chords on a home-made instrument in 1980. Three years later I was already playing in a band...(and I still do today).

Apart from that I was also gathering field experience in recording studios by handling various manufacturers‘ instruments which were often modified by myself.

In the early 90‘s I started thinking about building guitars as a profession.

In order to realize my ideas of sound and design to a full extent, I established Tausch Guitars as a business in May 1995.

Since then, the status of the electric guitar has changed a bit from the symbol of a rebellious youth into a more classical type of instrument.

However, the demands on myself in terms of building absolute high-end instruments have not changed.

The unique sounds of my guitars can be put down to construction characteristics, meticulous and careful craftsmanship and – not least – the sustainable choice of tone woods and materials."
