hi,

i notice in the bias advert you feature in that you're sporting a 
rather unusual looking guitar, if you have a moment or two would 
you mind telling me about it?

cheers,

andy.

Hi andy,

At first, I am not splattercell, and I do not know if he get in private
contact to you. So I haven´t seen the advert. But I think to know that he
now plays Teuffel guitars, in his case the birdfish.

So check out: http://www.teuffelguitars.com

for further information. I hope I´m not wrong with my suggestion. As I
mentioned before, I have never seen the advert.

Cheers Achim

andy,

i play (2 different, custom) TESLA model gtrs, made by ULLI TEUFFEL;
one is glow-in-the-dark green, one is charcoal.

the green one: birdseye maple (1-piece) neck, alder body.
the charcoal one: birdseye maple neck, ebony fingerboard, alder body w/ash 
'wedge' in the neck running from the body-join to the bridge.

both instruments are:
'headless' 25.5 inch scale-length, w/gibson string-spacing and Steinberger 
TransTrem bridges.
each has:
a) 2 passive pickups, made by ulli teuffel:
green: strat-type at neck, warm humbucker at bridge
charcoal: p-90 type at neck, overwound humbucker at bridge
b) 2 microphones, each w/an attendant momentary switch (and, microphone # 2 
has a fixed toggle switch, as well):
mic #1: face-mounted (visible) salt-shaker
mic #2: internally-mounted under neck pickup (green gtr) and bridge pickup 
(charcoal gtr)
c) one (normal guitar) output
d) one input, w/an attendant momentary switch
e) 1 volume and 1 tone control
f) a momentary 60-cycle hum switch, w/an attendant momentary switch
g) a momentary on/off switch
h) pickup selector

*all* the momentary switches are the 'wafer'-type (some split in half) that 
ulli has designed/integrated as flush-mounting in the guitar's faces.

these two instruments sound very different from each other; both are 
*wonderful*, responsive..... and suitably wackassed.....

i use them both w/logic, btw.....

A good choice, but be careful. The first time you got this instruments in
your hands, you want all of them :-)

Happend to me.

i speak w/ulli teuffel pretty regularly, and just acquired a birdfish as a 
gift for a very good friend.....

I don't know about the exact one you play but the ones on that site 
though they are all very beautiful look uncomfortable to play for 
someone like myself who is accustomed to resting his forearm across 
top of a strat or tele.  I once  thought I would able to get used to 
not doing that and made my own short bodied headless.  It turned out 
that it never was as comfortable to me as a plain old strat.   I 
think the original strat design was one of the greatest bits of 
industrial art of the 20th century both for it's sexy lines and 
stripped down functionality.

dg,
hey!

the tesla is much more balanced than any guitar i've used, except for the 
klein electrics; the body-design is, in fact, very ergonomic.
plenty of forearm-resting room, there..... much more than a strat/lespaul/etc.

to each their own, eh?
but:
ya might wanna judge the tesla (better) by trying one.....

me, too. (i still have one, though i never play it. and a '65 mustang, etc).
that, however, does definitely not (in my experience) preclude the inevitable 
development of guitar-design..... in which i remain remarkably interested and 
supportive of those luthiers (ned steinberger, steve klein, ulli teuffel, 
andreas, etc) who pursue that evolution.
