Another new (to me, at least) tapping instrument: Neubauer Guitars, an Austrian guitar maker, has a 12-string tap guitar model displayed on their web page at www.neubauerguitars.com (http://www.neubauerguitars.com/) - click on Gitarren (the page is in German) and then on Touch Style.
The body style seems really funky. If you're into Gibson Explorers and Firebirds you'll probably love the Neubauer.
Years ago, in '97 or so, an Austrian by the name of Gerald Woltran visited the European Tap Seminar. His instrument was a 12-string built by Neubauer. From what I understood he had custom ordered it, I don't think they had built any tap guitars before that one. It had a more traditional body shape, in fact it wasn't that far from being a Warr clone. Wish I had taken more detailed photos. Haven't heard from Gerald since, so I don't know if he's still tapping. Any Austrians out there?
