Kauffmann off-set models features
Created in the ’60’s, revived in the ’90’s and popular ever since. And not just for Indie bands.
A LIGHTER GUITAR
An off-sett guitar has a slightly bigger body. 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.
KAUFFMANN JM STYLE TREMOLO
The tremolo system in this guitar is a crucial element in it’s sound. It has smooth tremolo action. It is stable when the tremolo is not used. And it will stay in tune. We have sunken the tremolo plate in the body and we have increased the neck angle. This creates more pressure on the bridge for better tone. Our tremolo was designed and is build in Europe by Halon.
SUPERIOR PLAYABILITY
All our off-set 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. On our JG models the scale of the neck is shorter, creating a lighter string tension.
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.
