665 Raw
An unfinished/'raw'-finish tier of Tausch Guitars' semi-acoustic '665' model, at a lower entry price than the maker's dressed finishes.
About this guitar
The 665 Raw strips Tausch’s semi-acoustic ‘665’ platform — Pear-wood body with a full-length sustain block and glued neck joint, 665mm scale — down to a raw, unlacquered cosmetic finish, the line’s most affordable entry point. The maker’s own page shows several individually priced example builds clustered around this basic-version price. Hand-built to order in Germany.
