Kauffmann '63 S-Model Electric Guitar in Sherwood Green over 3TS w/ Deluxe Gigbag#
Kauffmann S-model features
Kauffmann regards the S-model kinda like the Swiss knife in guitars. You can do almost anything on it. It was an innovative design when it first came out. So we pay tribute to that heritage. And we build upon it.
A LIGHTER GUITAR
Over the last few years we have continuously upgraded our S-model. We are using light weight Paulownia wood for the body. this results in a guitar that weighs below 3 kgs and the Paulownia wood makes the guitar extremely resonant.
REFINED TREMOLO SYSTEM
We upgraded to the Gotoh 510 tremolo as it is a more stable tremolo. We use slotted tremolo screws that give both stability and smooth tremolo action and we use Highwood bridge saddles that are more comfortable under your palm.
SUPERIOR PLAYABILITY
All our S-models come with a 9,5″ radius with 6105 fret wire. So you still have the vintage-vibe feel to the neck but with the lower string action of a modern fingerboard.
TIME TRAVEL TREATMENT
Our finishes and ageing process give the guitar it’s distinct look. We offer three levels of aging, light to heavy. And we make sure that the aging is realistic and balanced. So we match the aging of the hardware with the aging of the body.
SOUNDS & MORE SOUNDS
On board you will find our Kauffmann Slightly Overwound pickups. They produce a creamy bluesy sound without losing that vintage transparency. We use CTS pots, vintage wire and we put in a treble bleed. To give you more tonal options we also include a neck pickup blend. This gives the opportunity to dial in the neck pick up with any other pick-up selection.
