Ben Tydearz on 08/29/2011	As Shawn said, he put the guy on the spot, hadn't been with the company for very long ... besides, without innovators, there's so much we'd miss out on. Maybe one day there'll be a guitarist who can make one of these sing. Look what Hendrix did, look what Moog did. Join some of the dots and think outside of the box. Or just shut up and listen!
N Tonseth on 08/20/2011	I would love to try this instrument! Great straight tones from all the switch positions. While I might not find a use for the 60 cycle and micro-phonic buttons right away, I'm thinking that there are HOURS of fun locked up in these features! Pair this with an Eventide Modfactor and a Rat...maybe add a Digitech Timebender in the mix... Hours of fun!
soso on 08/17/2011	I think people are letting themselves be distracted by three little buttons on what is actually an extremely cool-looking, well-made, good-sounding instrument that -FOR ONCE- doesn't look like a Strat with a piece of the headstock sanded off.

Mike on 08/03/2011	I need 3 buttons to do what?...flash me back to all of the interference that haunted my sound in the 70's?
i have A hole 2! on 07/26/2011	ha! in other news the NEW 69' thin line or some other repackaged crap that still sucks but doctors buy. i'm sure if we wait long enough fender or gibson will of bought the rights to this design and then in 2025 they will do a reissue or relic'd version of this "modern classic". it will be like reliving the early 90's all over agian and you will all still thing your opinion matters just like every stoner or finger tapping cut up jeaned,eye liner wearing guitar player though he was gonna make it big (some still do!) personally nothing too new here but i dig the astestic design of the forward thinking builder screw the wicked traditions of your guitar god forefathers. think this could well be the next steinberger but for guitar look what that did for bass players in the 80's but let's just all play folk music and teles and forget this guitar was evermade. and don't any one dare use the damn phrase "game changer".it's already marketed and beat to death....

Gregor Stephan on 07/25/2011	Change is to be embraced. Change for the sake of change is the paradigm that drives mindless consumerism and breeds poseurs in architecture and design, "art," & etc. There are very good reasons why guitars have been made the way they have been made for so long: sound, playability, and aesthetics. On the other hand, I suppose we should always make room for those who have more money than taste.
Dan on 07/25/2011	Just HIDEOUS - visually, aurally
g keffer on 07/25/2011	Teuffel is never going to be a mainstream company. The designs are rooted in deconstruction of the guitar and reassembling a new interpretation of the instrument. The Birdfish and Niwa are very cool designs. It's unfortunate that the Tesla model appears to answer a question nobody is asking.
