Designed by the legendary UK guitar builder and hardware specialist Alan Entwistle, the new Rapier Taurus is based on original 60’s iconic brands that played a major role in the industry of British built guitars and basses from the 1960s.
Whilst maintaining all the visual charm of the originals, like all models in the Rapier Series, the Rapier Taurus features significant upgrades to meet the needs of the modern player. This superb double cutaway, with its distinctive curved horns and narrow waist okueme body, now features significant upgrades to meet the requirements of the modern player.
