$17,500.00
Why not spread the cost?
This is an incoming DS11 Taran Guitars Oreval Model, due to start build in October 2020 and complete in 2021.
This is the first Oreval model we have bought into TNAG, this is a larger instrument in the Taran range. This model will feature Claro Walnut for the back & Sides, Tunnel 14 Redwood for the top and a subtle fan fret.
The fan fret joined at the 12th fret has placed the bridge perfectly on the sweet spot, right in the middle of the sound board. Combined with the Wenge neck it will take it from a sweet, to a rich, powerful guitar with encompassing warmth.
The Oreval is based on the acclaimed Tirga Beag Mk II shape and has a classic Taran style. This model has it's own unique bracing pattern and a greater depth, creating a huge voice and powerful projection.
