The Tausch Montreux is a remarkable, forward-thinking guitar that feels and looks right at home next to your Tele or Strat; yet at a closer glance it is a truly well thought out and precisely executed, unique instrument. The Montreux has a lively character all its own. The build quality and tone of these guitars are sure to please even the most discerning of players.

Only a few of these gems are built each year to the highest of quality standards in Germany by luthier Rainer Tausch. While certainly influenced by the Tele, at a closer glance you will notice many departures in design that make this magnificent guitar truly stand out in the crowd of T-Style guitars.

Starting with the slightly oversized and chambered body made from Chestnut wood, this Montreux is extremely resonant unplugged with piano-like sustain. The chosen materials also keep this build light-weight and balanced. While this is a true set-neck design, the guitar has a quick and snappy response reminiscent of a bolt-on neck instrument. The pickups are Haessel Tauschbucker humbuckers with a dedicated coil split toggle switch for a plethora of great tones.
