Esopus Guitars Launches New Acoustic/Electric Bass

Esopus Guitars Launches New Acoustic/Electric Bass

Esopus Guitars announces new "Tailwater" bass guitar from luthier Stuart Spector.


This 32” scale bass is handcrafted by Stuart at the Esopus Guitar workshop located near Woodstock NY in the Catskill Mountains. From its fully carved spruce top (the top is carved on both its exterior and interior surfaces) with a thumb rest that is carved into the top, to its custom made Fishman piezo pickup and super hard Carnauba wax finish, every detail of the Tailwater is intended to create the ultimate playing experience.

The Tailwater bass features a fully chambered spruce over alder body (15.5" lower body bout width, 2.25" body thickness measuring from the peak of the carved top).

Each Tailwater bass is hand signed and numbered on the back of the peghead by Stuart Spector. A very limited number of Tailwater basses are handcrafted each year at the Esopus workshop.

"I am proud to present the Tailwater bass, a bass that I have spent the last three years perfecting. The Tailwater is a culmination of all of my 45 years of experience, knowledge, and passion for bass guitar crafting. I am so eager to hear what fellow musicians create with this exciting new instrument." - Stuart Spector
