Hansen Guitars T-Style Light Relic in Tangerine

The Hansen Guitars T-Style is a hand-crafted instrument, with its design deriving from one of the world's most famous guitar shapes. Taking the spirit of that iconic model and retaining its signature components, the Hansen T-Style has the extra finesse that you'd expect from a custom instrument. Featuring premium woods and high-end hardware appointments, Hansen ensure that only the best tones are possible with their guitars.

Construction

The T-Style's body is formed from lightweight African Mahogany, a tonewood that Hansen uses exclusively across its entire range. Offering a gloriously deep and rich sound as you'd expect from Mahogany, this lighter species also gives you a more open and resonant tonality, with a brighter top-end and a punchier mid-range.

Paired with a bolt-on European Maple neck, this material provides a bright snap to notes, with lots of definition and attack. Medium-sized Hard German Silver frets adorn the 12" East Indian Rosewood fretboard, giving a vintage feel that will satisfy traditionalists without alienating contemporary players.

Electronics & Hardware

A pair of hand-wired Hansen T-Tone pickups deliver that authentic spank synonymous with this iconic guitar design. Made with Alnico 5 magnets, these pickups offer a potent mid-range and a vibrant top-end, working equally as well with clean and overdriven sounds.

The Stainless Steel bridge features Gotoh/Wilkinson WT3 Tilt Swivel Saddles, which maintain that traditional look and feel whilst also keeping your string intonation at its optimal position. With the Gotoh Kluson-style tuners at the headstock, tuning stability is excellent with this instrument.

A signature Hansen feature is the Norwegian Moose Bone nut. Buried in the earth for a year, this natural treatment leaves the bone hard and beautifully tinted, making it perfect for shaping.
