T-BUCKET

The idea behind our « T-Bucket » model was to create a design that while being rooted in tradition, was at the same time grounded in the present day. Our first thought was to pay tribute to Leo Fender, the man who changed the face of music 60 years ago with the timeless designs we all know… Leo has always been the role model to follow, always moving forward in order to make his electric guitar more comfortable for the working musician and find new solutions to the related problems of his old designs. So we try to follow his steps and design what could be in our mind the “telecaster” for the new century. We start to envision that the project should take the direction of the “neo vintage” car trend, in the same way the “beetle” or the Fiat "500" design were reworked to hit a whole new generation, keeping some unmistakable visuals that’s so close to our heart and taking them to a new dynamic looking level, reworking the ergonomic giving a new playing comfort and a more balanced instrument. Finally this guitar was build relying on our relentless attention to details, such as perfect connection of the parts thus ensuring this instrument a lively and articulated tone.
