These guitars are a new line being featured here at Guitar Hangar. Made by legendary Buzz Feiten, who’s contribution to the guitar world has proven innovative with his Buzz Feiton Tuning System (BFTS).
Since Buzz designed the guitar from scratch, he had a chance to build it exactly the way he wanted. The guitars are USA made and the set up for each guitar is meticulous. The neck pocket is a little wider (.030) than standard, and it really helps above the 12th fret when you're soloing. Buzz also had a chance to make a guitar that looks the way he always wanted...a more elegant body shape and pickguard design.
Buzz Feiten Luthiers are fanatics about their choice of wood, and they will only build guitars from the finest available. In addition, the Buzz Feiten Guitar comes with custom wound DiMarzio pickups, specifically for these guitars. There is also a "passive tone" network inside the guitar that acts like a preset tone pot that gets rid of those excessive high end frequencies...it turns the humbucking into the snappiest, funkiest Tele pickup you ever heard!
“You might be familiar with the Buzz Feiten Tuning System, now in use by over 100 companies and 1000 Authorized Retrofitters worldwide. I've always been passionate about the guitar, and finding ways to get the absolute best out of any instrument I played, so I've incorporated all the experience and ideas I've had into the design of the Buzz Feiten Guitar. Our Player List includes Walter Becker (Steely Dan), Michael Sembello, Clay Sears (Janet Jackson) and Bob Mothersbaugh (Devo).” - Buzz Feiten
