About the Teuffel Birdfish

Each Birdfish is handcrafted in Germany by Ulrich Teuffel, who reimagined the electric guitar as both an acoustic and aesthetic innovation. The aluminum frame provides incredible resonance and sustain, while the interchangeable tone bars allow for personalized tonal response and visual design.

The Birdfish has been displayed in museums (including the Museum of Modern Art in New York) and is played by icons like David Torn and Kirk Hammett. These rarely appear for sale, and when they do, they command the attention of serious collectors.

Unlike many Birdfish listings missing accessories or showing player wear, this one is complete, clean, and fully functional — ready for the stage, studio, or display. The apricot matte finish is among the most sought-after colorways and contrasts beautifully with the chrome and maple tones.

If you’ve been waiting for a complete, near-museum-grade Birdfish, this is it.
