German luthier Rainer Tausch (tausch-guitars.de) builds incredible guitars that are a successful blend of tradition and modernity. Indeed, the lines of his guitars are inspired by well-known American models, such as the Telecaster in the case of this 665 Raw.

But Rainer doesn't just copy a well-known recipe - far from it! The 665 Raw is very different from an old-fashioned Telecaster: the body is hollow, the neck is glued and the pitch is 665mm (hence the reference).
