UNIQUE GUITARS, UNIQUE PICKUPS
Ted guitars are designed to deliver sound that matches their unique look and personality, harnessing the unparalleled acoustic powers of aluminum.
This is why they are equipped with a pair of CREL microphones, developed exclusively for Ted Guitars, and manufactured in France.
Ted Guitars and CREL have teamed up to develop pickups capable of capturing the incredible harmonics of an aluminum guitar. Extensive testing has allowed us to choose the best grains to give Ted guitars the best sound.
Bauxite, Saphyr, Motel and Concorde are equipped with different microphones, in order to offer a wide range of sounds. You will lean towards one or the other according to your playing style and your musical register. To choose, try out a Ted in store, to understand how Ted and CREL make aluminum sound.
VINTAGE AND HIGH-TECH SLEEVES
Ted Guitars' ambition is to build necks using traditional methods, supported by today's technical means.
But also to practice a reasoned production by excluding woods coming from far away to favor high quality French species. These woods are perfect for violin making and offer great reliability during the drying and cutting phases.
Walnut, maple or olive ash for the fingerboard, combined with maple for the neck, seemed to us to be perfect combinations to merge with the aluminum body, and to provide unique sensations with a Ted guitar in your hands.
All this while proudly defending a philosophy made in France .
The design of the handle was based on the best proven standards.
A 12'' radius, a pleasant section, and the right compromise between robustness and ergonomics, for a pleasant grip and great playing comfort.
Added to this are medium frets which suit the vast majority of guitarists.
The Tusq nut brings out the best in the cold sound of the metal, which the neck woods complement with their warm mids and bass, an unprecedented marriage of materials at the service of the sound.
If Gotoh mechanics are one of the rare components produced outside France, Ted Guitars is studying ways to do things differently in the future, and for the moment is placing its trust in an irreproachable reference.
All these choices were made after hours of work with experienced luthiers, and tests in the studio and in concert.
Always looking to improve its products, Ted Guitars does not refrain from studying specific requests, to satisfy its customers' expectations as much as possible.
ALUMINUM BOX, THE SIGNATURE
Aluminum is Ted Guitars' signature. A body with a unique look, with its palette of grays that bounce the light, and above all new tones that broaden the experience of playing a guitar.
These cases are a concentrate of innovations and it is from aeronautical techniques that Ted Guitars has drawn its manufacturing secrets.
A sturdy case, but 30% lighter than solid body cases, which will relieve your back and allow you to extend your sessions and make the fun last.
A metal box is the best ally to combat parasitic sounds, according to the principle of the Faraday cage.
Ted guitars feature three sound holes that offer, beyond the visual signature, a unique acoustic and sound.
