2021 Taran Tirga Beag, made for our very own Dustin Furlow for the Young Player Bursary. This beast of an instrument features back and sides of African Blackwood, fully kerfed side construction in Western Red Cedar with Bocote veneers, and Taran Guitars’ signature compression back brace. The top is crafted from Italian Spruce, with a rosette of hot sand-faded Scottish Burr Elm accented by rippled Sycamore detailing, all bound in African Blackwood.
The neck is made of Wenge, shaped with an equal taper Medium C profile. It features EVO frets and Gotoh tuners. Notably, this guitar boasts both a soundport and an arm bevel made from hot sand-faded Scottish Elm.
This instrument is equipped with a Modified K&K Trinity pickup system. The microphone is a DPA 4061 Low-Sensitivity Omni Lavalier Microphone, running off the same phantom specs as the original K&K Trinity, ensuring excellent amplification for both studio and live performances.
This guitar is a shining example of what Rory and the team are crafting in Scotland. It possesses a mystique and power that are, quite frankly, hard to put into words—reminiscent of some magical artifact from an Arthurian tale. But don’t take our word for it—let the demo speak for itself. Cheers!
Many of you may already be familiar with this beauty. When I heard and played this guitar at the Artisan show in 2022 I knew I had to order a build from Rory right away. The build quality is stunning but the tone is what sets it apart. This was made for our very own Dustin Furlow in 2021, and the final result of what he and Taran dreamed up is truly exceptional. 10% of this sale will go directly to Taran’s “Young Player Bursary” program, which makes it even better. 
Bloom, richness, depth--and at its core, clean note separation. Dustin's Tirga Beag exemplifies the modern fingerstyle ideal with such qualities of clarity and dynamism. Rory and his team then add striking visuals with their hot sand faded rosette, arm bevel, and headstock veneer, a great neck-body weight ratio, and silky play feel. | Scale Length | 25 in |
