I recently had the pleasure of receiving my Hufschmid Tantalum, and I have to say, it’s a stunning piece of craftsmanship. The entire guitar, from body to neck, is meticulously handcrafted from a single piece of sipo mahogany, giving it a solid and resonant feel that you can’t easily find in mass-produced instruments.
The top is made from richlite and features a mesmerizing blue honeycomb pattern that’s engraved into the surface. Pictures don’t do it justice—it’s a true work of art. The 25.5” scale length feels perfect in my hands, and the Crelicam ebony fretboard is one of my favorite features.
The guitar is equipped with a PEEK nut and custom unfinished alumitone humbuckers from Lace Pickups. These pickups deliver a wide range of tones, from crisp cleans to aggressive distortion, making this instrument versatile enough for any style of music. And let's not forget the killswitch, which adds a fun and functional touch to this already impressive build.
Shipping from Switzerland to Australia was surprisingly fast—under two weeks—and the guitar arrived in perfect condition. The frets are well-dressed, and the action is impeccable right out of the box. It’s not just a guitar; it’s a masterpiece that commands attention both visually and sonically.
If you’re looking for an instrument that combines unique aesthetics with unparalleled playability, the Hufschmid Tantalum is worth every penny. If you’re a true guitar enthusiast you must check out Patrick’s work.
There’s a few videos and tone demos on the Hufschmid Guitars Instagram and YouTube channel to check out if you would like to see and hear it in action!
