Description

Edit description

The Kauffmann ‘56 S is an homage to the golden era of electric guitars, designed for players seeking that vintage vibe with modern playability. Crafted from lightweight paulownia wood, this guitar offers a truly resonant tone, while its maple neck and fingerboard ensure a smooth playing experience. With a 9.5" radius and 6105 fretwire, it strikes the perfect balance between comfort and precision, making it ideal for both intricate solos and robust rhythm sections.

The standout feature of the Kauffmann ‘56 S is its trio of Kauffmann SOW S pickups, delivering a versatile range of sounds from crystal-clear highs to warm, mellow lows. Whether you're playing blues, rock, or jazz, these pickups adapt seamlessly to your style. The bridge is equipped with a Gotoh 510 tremolo system, offering smooth and reliable pitch modulation for those expressive bends and dives.

Beyond its technical prowess, the Kauffmann ‘56 S is a testament to meticulous craftsmanship. Each guitar is carefully set up by skilled technicians, ensuring optimal performance right out of the box. The combination of vintage charm and modern innovation makes the Kauffmann ‘56 S a must-have for any serious guitarist's collection.
