Paul Fischer Elite Taut Spruce Brazilian Rosewood 650

Paul Fischer should need little introduction as he has produced world class guitars, both for David Rubio as outlined in Paul's autobiography 'Against the Grain,' and subsequently under his own name.  in addition he has inspired other luthiers such as Christopher Dean who have gone on to be world class in their own right.  Paul's guitars are owned and played by some of the leading artists in the world.

In his search for improvements to the guitar, Paul introduced the Taut bracing system, which was in essence the forerunner to the lattice design.  This guitar, built in 2008 is the Premier version of Paul's Taut model, using the finest woods, tuners, purfling and inlay work.  The master grade Spruce top and exquisitely book matched Brazilian Rosewood (with CITES) back and sides demonstrate Paul's world class skills as a luthier.  His signature rosette is repeated on the bridge and the silver Rodgers tuners, hand-engraved in Hatton Garden complete the effect.  The guitar is in virtually unplayed condition and offers an opportunity for someone to acquire such a high quality instrument.  Paul describes the Taut sound as being clearer and more bell-like than his fan braced guitars and this guitar delivers in all registers both for projection and balance.
