U8 DELUXE HEADLESS
A more compact and travel-friendly take on our U8 Deluxe, featuring a reduced 33″ scale length, custom Submarine hardware by Mera Guitars in Ukraine, and ABM headpieces.Same U8 Deluxe concept, More compact, Ready to travel.
The U8 Deluxe Headless features elaborate ergonomic shaping, a double pickup arrangement, and state-of-the-art active electronics including built-in EQ controls (adding to the instrument’s potential for generating an endless range of sounds).
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. In addition, the body of the U8 Deluxe Headless is specifically shaped and contoured to the body type of the individual customer, to optimise comfort and playability. There is now also the option for a semi-hollow body option.
