U10 DELUXE
The U10 Deluxe is a further development of the U10, produced at the same build quality but featuring the extended playing range provided by 10 strings. It’s also the only stereophonic Touch Guitar, aimed at players who might wish to focus on and differentiate the instrument’s polyphonic abilities.
The U10 Deluxe features a similar body to the U8 Deluxe with its elaborate ergonomic shaping , a wider neck to accommodate the greater string range, a single pickup arrangement, and passive electronics. While it remains true to the original Touch Guitar concept of a single self-contained full-range instrument, its design also allows for separate output of the two “bass” and “guitar” ranges if desired. This is achieved via a split stereophonic pickup and a two-plug output socket through which each range is processed separately, plus individual volume controls for each of the two ranges.
As with all Touch Guitars®, construction and finishing options (from wood types used through to custom paint and varnish) are discussed with and chosen by the customer, as part of the custom-creation process.
