Their Titan model is their take on the classic T-style platform, but these are very much custom-build instruments rather than mass-produced guitars.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis particular Titan is an especially interesting specification, with a Lollar Phunbucker at the bridge which is coil-tapped, and a Lollar P-90 in the neck, giving it considerably more tonal muscle and versatility than a conventional Tele-style pairing. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe combination promises everything from articulate, woody T-style snap through to fat, harmonically rich overdrive and proper P-90 grunt. This guitar weighs 8.19 lb.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnd then there’s the finish...\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe distressed\/relic treatment is superbly executed, giving the guitar genuine vintage character without making it look like a generic factory relic. Palir's ageing and finish work is one of the things that really sets these instruments apart.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePrevious Palir Titan examples have received particularly strong comments for build quality, neck feel, fretwork and playability. This one is no exception. The fretwork is superb, the neck, which has an ebony fingerboard, feels beautifully played-in, and the guitar has an excellent setup with very little play wear. It is a genuinely inspiring instrument in the hands — the sort of guitar where the craftsmanship becomes apparent the moment you start playing it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHighlights:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"cms-ul\"\u003e\n\u003cli value=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePalir Titan Custom\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli value=\"2\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUSA-made boutique T-style solid body\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli value=\"3\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHighly individual custom-build specification\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli value=\"4\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLollar Phunbucker bridge pickup\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli value=\"5\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLollar P-90 neck pickup\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli value=\"6\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExceptional build quality\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli value=\"7\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSuperb fretwork and playability\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli value=\"8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDistressed\/relic finish with beautifully executed ageing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli value=\"9\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExcellent current setup\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli value=\"10\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLittle play wear\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli value=\"11\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSupplied with Fender tweed-style hard case\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli value=\"12\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCertificate of Authenticity included\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli value=\"13\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA genuinely rare and unusual Palir specification\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePalir Titans don't come along every day, and this particular pickup combination makes this one especially interesting.
