Teuffel Nickel Birdfish
Brands:
The Birdfish is an odd, yet beautiful beast. The body consists of the two tonebars which are screwed on both central elements "bird" and "fish". The neck is bolted onto the upper element "bird" while the lower "fish" carries the control box in which you find the guitar electronics. A rail between "bird" and "fish" holds the slideable pickups. All three pickups can be exchanged with each other within seconds.
This nickel birdfish (only 1 of 2 produced thus far) has got a glossy finish on stained tone wood. Tonebars are made from flamed alpine maple and red alder. The neck is from bird's eye maple with a fingerboard from Pau Ferro. The guitar has five pickups which are made from Pau Ferro, each pickup with individual characteristics.
All metal parts are nickel plated and polished. Teuffel manufactures all of the hardware parts (including some of the screws) in his workshop in small series according to his own exact needs. This guarantees that all parts harmonize together in the best manner.
