THE RACER

The RACER model is a hollow body and hollow neck electric guitar with a curved top and back. The body is milled with the highest precision. This high precision combined with a material that resonates extremely well guarantees a very pure and long-lasting tone.

 

The curve of the top gives the arm a perfect angle to optimally reach the strings. The curve on the back provides a very comfortable contour for the guitarist's body. The neck flows seamlessly into the body and represents a perfect transition. Pickups from the best manufacturers like Häussel, Kloppmann or Lace represent the art of craftsmanship in the pickup area like hardly anything else. Whether it is our self-designed fixed bridge or our sting-thorugh nut - every single innovation will always perfectly reflect the guitarist's playing style.

FEATURES AND INNOVATIONS

Discover the Fehse® hollow neck. Our lightweight structure not only offers the robust durability of aluminum, but also a key advantage:

Since less material is used, the existing mass heats up significantly faster and the air contained in the hollow profile acts as a moderator to ensure that the material warms up faster for the hand. This ensures significantly greater tuning stability.

The brass nut is milled out exactly half-round for each string. The nut is also longer than usual. This offers the string a significantly larger surface area on which it can slide and reduces the risk of the string "working into" the nut. In addition, this design means that no string tree or other additional components are required despite a straight head plate.

The bridge is also a specially designed component. Due to a balanced ratio of mass to absorb the string vibration to the bridge's own weight, this component is a key point of the unique vibration behavior.

Particularly interesting: The bridge can be exchanged for a headless bridge with tuners or for a vibrato system also designed by us - without having to drill a single hole.

Price & Options

The Fehse® Racer is 7.478,15 € (excluding VAT & shipping) in any of the available colors.

The Racer is fitted with the following “non-Fehse” parts:

  • Kluson Backlock (all colors)
  • Häussel pickups (all models)

What about options?

Almost everything on a Fehse® is designed in-house: the body & neck with their unique hollow construction, the simple yet futuristic bridge, even the nut & potentiometer knobs. My parts are made to work in perfect harmony with each other & with the few externally sourced parts. I consciously decided against offering a lot of options as I do not want to distract from the vision I had in mind. However, I do realize (I am a guitarist, too, after all!) that especially when it comes to pickups, everyone has his or her favorites, so I am happy to accommodate your preference. Only if the pickups are more expensive than Häussels will there be any surcharge. My go-to surcharge pickup option is Kloppmann.

 

K-Tar tuning machines are another option I am offering. While they do not have a locking mechanism, they are extremely stable & work very smoothly. I feel that K-tar’s no-compromise approach to quality, even if that results in a high price, is similar to mine.

Any surcharge simply represents the difference in costs for purchasing those parts. A more expensive pickup or tuner does not necessarily have a higher quality or means that it is better suited - the "standard" options I offer are the best parts I know.

 

Options like a different nut width mean considerable work & are not listed here. If you really feel like you need a different nut width, scale length etc., please get in touch but be aware that it will cost significantly more than the price quoted above.
