Maybach Teleman T61 Vintage Cream Aged
*Incluye Case Deluxe Maybach
That’s Been One Of My Mantras – Focus And Simplicity. (Steve Jobs)
What’s better than an authentic vintage T-type tone with the vintage playing feel to match? Name one serious guitarist who can do without such a tone. We don’t know any… That twang sound bravely wrote the first chapter of electric guitar history. And it alone defines – at its best – the standard we set for our Maybach production. Without compromise, neither in material nor in manufacturing and construction. Consistent in the realization, even when it comes to the details. Pickups from Amber, specially developed for the authentic T-sound, but also, for example, the units from Texan premium manufacturer Van Zandt ensure precisely, in combination with the best woods, best hardware, and the correct construction method, this authentic sound, which has made our Teleman one of the most popular guitars in our catalog.
The Teleman comes in many different versions with the best body and neck woods, matching the respective era of the classic of this guitar genre: As Teleman T54 with a sugar-pine body and maple neck, as T52 Keith with a humbucker in the neck position, as T61 with sugar-pine body and maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, as T66 with alder or sugar-pine body with binding and maple/rosewood neck and as T68 Thinline with an alder body and maple neck.
The versatility of the Teleman models is topped only by the range of possible colors, which, like all Maybach paint finishes, are nitrocellulose with slight aging. Available colorways include Butterscotch, Cream, Caddy Blue, Miami Green, Wine Red Metallic, 2-Tone, and 3-Tone Sunburst. And more!
Twang
Since the 1950s, the typical treble-rich sound of this type of guitar has been called twang.
Initially, the T-style models were mainly used in Country and Rock‘ n‘ Roll music. Still, thanks to their distinctive, assertive single-coil sound and their extremely robust construction, they have found their way into all musical genres worldwide – from Jazz (Mike Stern) to Blues (Roy Buchanan) to Rock (Rolling Stones).
To keep the twang sound from becoming unpleasant, the Maybach Teleman models are equipped with special pickups from Amber Pickups that bring out the best tonal characteristics of the respective woods used for the body, neck, and fingerboard – a masterful combination!
The MAYBACH® Teleman
We only use nitro lacquer on Maybach Teleman guitars, which are available in Butterscotch, Cream, Caddy Blue, Miami Green, Wine Red metallic, and 2-Tone or 3-Tone Sunburst. All our electric guitars are finished with an aged finish, as it is undeniable that the guitar’s resonance is positively affected – not only but also by the distinctive cracks that an authentic nitro finish develops over time.
