We are incredibly excited to bring in our first guitar from Taran Guitars in Pittenweem, Scotland.
Taran are building us the latest evolution of their Taran Mhor model, often nicknamed 'The Taran'. This guitar will feature Master Grade woods for the top, back and sides, with an Italian spruce top and African blackwood back and sides.
Rory and his team are taking the opportunity with this build to further develop the design of the Taran Mhor model, which features a new evolution of the Taran Compression Braces.
Taran say, "This African Blackwood Taran Mhor features the most recent iteration of our compression braces. For years now we've been working on developing our compression braces so that they will hold the back in its cylindrical shape, without relying on the tops of the braces to do so. We've managed to achieve this with these braces."
"They work in combination with our incredibly stiff laminated sides to hold the back in shape while allowing the back to vibrate more freely than our previous compression brace designs. These braces in particular are yew which we have found to be a fantastic material both for its strength and flexibility and also matches the detailing on the rest of the guitar. The gold anchor points on the braces now allow us to fine tune the curve of the back to an incredible degree before it is finally glued to the side unit. The sound that our backs make with these new braces is astonishing!"
This special build will feature all of Taran's signature appointments, including an arm bevel and Florentine cutaway complete with its own bevel - both of which are decorated with hot sand fades over Claro walnut. The guitar will also have a fan fret multi-scale neck, a soundport and will come in a custom bronze Calton case with pink interior.
This guitar is in build now and will complete in early 2025.
