Thorsten Hans created this guitar for me in summer 2009. He is a young luther from Southern Germany.
The guitar features a Jaguar body, 2 Vintage P-90 pick-ups (from German manufacturer Harry Haeussler), a Bigsby tremolo and is laquered in Surf Green. 22 frets, locking tuners, 3-way control.

I bought this guitar mostly for my Rock-Trio "The Horst M??ller Experience", in which I play a Musicman 210-65. We do some surf, funk and psychedelic and in this context the guitar works perfect.
The Vintage pick-ups can give you this sixtiesh clean twang-sound aswell as crunchy blues styles. Despite being p-90s, I never had noise problems with the pick ups.
I play a Big Muff and Cry Baby Wah, sounds real retro all in all.

Equipped with 10 gauge strings, that work very well on this guitar. Perfect.
Reliability/Durability

Directly after buying the guitar, I went on tour and used it without any backup. Worked out brilliant - once tuned the instrument will stay that way for a whole gig. Good heavy hardware.

Thorsten has always been very helpful and intersted in my points of view. He custom-made this guitar for me and we talked over every detail for a long time. He??s a very fine young man, very frienldy and knows what hes doing.

I??ve been playing the guitar for about 10 years now, and this is my first good electric one. Before that I played an Aria Strat copy, which was a complete disaster. With 1400 ??? still being rather cheapish, I would definately buy this instrument again. It??s perfect, just a little heavy.
