20:54 At the M.A.D. Gallery, an electric guitar is a piece of art! | |

The M.A.D. Gallery is delighted to present
the 'Rhodium Birdfish' by Ulrich Teuffel, a beautifully hand-made modular
electric guitar featuring two-piece aluminium body; interchangeable wooden tone
bars; headless maple neck; and sliding pickups that can be swapped in seconds.
Working by himself in his Bavarian atelier Ulrich crafts most of the guitar
components by hand. He revels in
every single step of the process which is hugely time-intensive meaning he
produces only ten birdfish guitars per year! The cylindrical tone bars are aligned sideways from the middle of
the guitar to provide a percussive, twangy attack. The model in the M.A.D. Gallery is a Rhodium Prodigy
Birdfish which has quilted maple-wood tone bars (and as a second set Honduran
mahogany tone bars). The unique
design of the birdfish has helped it to become one of the most iconic guitars
of all time. It has been hailed in books and
specialist magazines, won three major design awards, is displayed in museums,
and become an exclusive addition to private guitar collections. Birdfish
owners include Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top or Kirk Hammett, the lead guitarist
and songwriter of Metallica – who was ecstatic about it when he came back from
his tour a few years back. Of course, the birdfish’s radical design can
polarise guitar aficionados, and Ulrich understands that it might take a leap
of faith to feel comfortable owning – and playing – one.
