Kauffman Guitars builds guitars that pay tribute to the iconic models that have dominated the guitar world for so long!

From the headquarters in Alphen aan de Rijn, these vintage-inspired guitars are carefully given a beautifully aged look that gives the instrument a played-in feel. At Kauffmann, they call this the Time Travel Treatment, also known as the 'TTT'.

This Kauffmann is a tribute to the heritage of the T-model in its purest form, the Esquire. A magical design that is still as relevant today as when it first came out! This guitar has that well-played feel like a real old guitar. One of the reasons is the Heavy Aged Bull Black finish, which gives the guitar its characteristic vintage look. The paulownia body is not only incredibly light in weight, but also incredibly resonant!

The guitar plays like butter due to the C-shaped neck profile and the 9.5 inch fingerboard. The sound is also unparalleled and unmistakable thanks to Kauffmann's own SOW Single Coil bridge pickup. This guitar twangs through the mix with ease and adds a little extra with the special Esquire wiring diagram! Kauffmann has the wiring set up differently than usual: in the typical neck position, the volume and tone are bypassed, whereas in the bridge position, you do have control over volume and tone.

The guitar comes with a TFOA passport in a gig bag.
