Listen "Biography | The Story of Rainer Tausch"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome to Life With Strings Attached. In this episode, we travel to the small Bavarian town of Illertissen to meet Rainer Tausch: Guitar maker, musician, and founder of Tausch Guitars. Rainer’s journey began with a homemade guitar at age 13, inspired by the music of Hendrix, AC/DC, and Deep Purple. Over decades, he carved his own path through craftsmanship and tone, blending tradition with bold design choices like his signature use of pearwood and his flamenco-inspired 665 scale length. We talk about his roots, the vibrant community of world-class luthiers in his region, and the power of staying true to your own creative voice. Whether you’re a builder, a player, or a fan of the craft, you won’t want to miss this one.🔗 Find Rainer Tausch online:Website: https://www.tausch-guitars.deInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tauschguitarsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/p/Tausch-Electric-Guitars-100063247268267Watch the video version on YouTube:🔗 YouTube Channel – Life With Strings Attached Learn more about Life With Strings Attached and Boutique Guitar Showcase:🔗 Boutique Guitar Showcase Support the deeper conversations:🔗 The Business of Guitar – Patreon Thank you for listening and supporting the ongoing conversation between music, makers, history and the future.
