The Teuffel Birdfish represents modern styling with an exo-skeleton (no-body) theme and construction, blending wood and metal. The body consists of two interchangeable tonebars which are screwed on both central elements “bird” and “fish.” The neck is bolted onto the upper element “bird” while the lower “fish” carries the control box housing the electronics. A rail between “bird” and “fish” holds the slideable pickups.
There’s no doubt that Ulrich Teuffel makes some interesting and intriguing instruments.
