Maybach Teleman T61 Vintage Cream Aged

Around 1950, the wheel was reinvented – with simplicity and maximum effectiveness, an electric guitar design was created back then that still defines and shapes the sound of the amplified worlds today.

Our Teleman Series pays tribute to this pivotal point in guitar history in the best respect by conveying what this guitar model was precisely then as it is now: the highest level of uncompromising design, feel, and tone.

What’s better than an authentic vintage T-type tone with the vintage playing feel to match? Name one serious guitarist who can do without such a tone. We don’t know any… That twang sound bravely wrote the first chapter of electric guitar history. And it alone defines – at its best – the standard we set for our Maybach production.

Without compromise, neither in material nor in manufacturing and construction. Consistent in the realization, even when it comes to the details. Pickups from Amber, specially developed for the authentic T-sound, but also, for example, the units from Texan premium manufacturer Van Zandt ensure precisely, in combination with the best woods, best hardware, and the correct construction method, this authentic sound, which has made our Teleman one of the most popular guitars in our catalog.

The Teleman comes in many different versions with the best body and neck woods, matching the respective era of the classic of this guitar genre: As Teleman T54 with a sugar-pine body and maple neck, as T52 Keith with a humbucker in the neck position, as T61 with sugar-pine body and maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, as T66 with alder or sugar-pine body with binding and maple/rosewood neck and as T68 Thinline with an alder body and maple neck.

The versatility of the Teleman models is topped only by the range of possible colors, which, like all Maybach paint finishes, are nitrocellulose with slight aging.
