The '59 re-inspired

This is the re-inspired Kauffmann '59 Single Cut. Kauffmann Guitars have improved their take on this iconic guitar. Of course it features the standard specs of this model, a Honduras Mahogany body. a carved maple top, a mahogany neck and two humbuckers. The body has been weight relieved for more player comfort but mostly because it adds to the resonance of this guitar. New is the grada AAA flamed maple top that really adds visual depth to its appearance. This is enhanced by the ultra thin nitro finish. The neck is a 59 profile but it is not a chunky neck at all. The neck has a long tenon for better and more sustain.The back of the neck is also nitro finished and it feels very very smooth. A lot of the appeal of this guitar is the way it feels. It is gently aged and it feels like it has been around for a couple of decades. Kauffmann made three major improvements to the way it sounds. They have added a Faber bridge that is solid as rock and helsp the guitar sustain and helps to bring out the harmonics that are produced by the maple/mahogany combination. The guitar has '50's based wiring with a treble bleed. A very large part of the sound come from the Cream T '57 GT pickups. With a relatively low output these produce a full bodied transparant tone that allow the woody undertones to surface. This guitar weighs 3,4 KGS, it comes in a brown hard case and with a COA.
