Just in and ready to ship to your door is a new Teuffel Prodigy Series Tesla guitar, serial number "2". The fingerboard, pickup covers and control knobs were made from macassar ebony, the color; light grey.

This Prodigy Series Tesla is a combination of the standard Tesla studio and Tesla classic models. Here's a quick rundown of the standrad Tesla variations:

TESLA CLASSIC
The Tesla Classic is the most common model. It has two pickups and three noise buttons. All Tesla models have the new 2-way truss rod.

TESLA STUDIO
Instead of the noise buttons the studio model has three pickups. The bridge and neck pickup are the same as on the classic model. In addition the tesla studio has a middle pickup. A Schaller Megaswich controls the sounds. The switching positions are: bridge, bridge + middle, bridge + neck, middle + neck, neck.

So this Tesla has three pickups AND the noise controls, but as a Prodigy Series guitar it is much more as well. Since 2008 Teuffel has offered the Prodigy Series line of instruments next to the standard Tesla, Niwa and Birdfish models. The high-end Prodigy Series guitars have the same names as the regular versions but differ from the standard models in the selection of the tonewoods, the fine metal platings, the pickups, the hardware and finally the finish. In short, the Prodigy Series is the standard models turned up to 11.

ABOUT THE TESLA  MODEL
Do you remember your first electric guitar? In the early days of electric guitar building, you had to struggle not only with the guitar itself, but also with the unwanted background noises that guitars produced in those days, for example, pickup feedback resulting from pickups not yet being wax-potted, or loud humming coming from a loose solder joint. Sometimes the guitar signal would be interrupted when you randomly touched a knob.

Nowadays all these effects have disappeared as a result of technical improvements, yet they have become part of music history as archetypes of guitar sounds. They are comparable to sounds such as the scratching of records and skipping of CD’s, which have also become musical archetypes and are often used of their own accord in today’s music.

With the Tesla, Teuffel has designed a guitar that, along with modern guitar sounds, also has these primitive sounds at its disposal. Contact points and push-buttons are situated all over the body, which, when pressed, activate the respective sounds.

After Teuffel presented this guitar for the first time at the 2000 NAMM show, his first customers included Henry Kaiser and David Torn, arguably the most experimental guitarists of our time.
