Home / Instruments / Telham
Buttery jazz to raw rock. A neck humbucker, like Keith’s.
The bolt-on that does everything.
The Telham is a T-type guitar built to cover ground. It goes from smooth buttery jazz to twangy country to raw rock and roll without fighting you.
Like Keith Richards’s famous Micawber, it runs a humbucking pickup in the neck position instead of the usual single coil. That one change opens up the low end and warms the whole voice.
Every Telham starts as a Professional and can be built up. Prices are starting points; your final quote depends on the options you choose.
