Touch Guitars™ History

The Bunker All new TG-2009 Touch Guitar™ The Utopia Touch Guitar™ features in detail: Hand crafted from the finest woods, then integrated with patented electronic innovations, this instrument has a broad range of sound from the brightest country to the mellowest standards. The Back Side of the TG2001 is all wood with snap out ebony or rosewood covers for easy 9-Volt battery access.  The Touch Guitar runs for 20 hours on just one battery. There is even an a/c adapter which provides phantom power. Bunker's amazing individual Hexophonic Pickups combined with the Electronic Mute ™ are absolutely the finest combination of sounds you can attain for Touch style and Hammer-on style playing.

The Hexophonic Pickups are employed on all of our Touch Guitars™ and Electro-Mute™ Guitars and Basses (see below) are the heart of our product line. Our great sounds give you the best of all music worlds and our pickups are available separately for those who wish to modify their current instrument. We have pickup models for all standard -size guitar and bass applications. The Electro-Mute™ (shown above) is at the center of our dynamic Muting System. This patented technology keeps each string fully muted until you touch or pick it, thereby eliminating all unwanted noise. This creates dynamic new sounds never before possible. What is an Electro-Mute™? The Electro-Mute™ is our patented device which enables the strings to be off at all times. This eliminates all hum, hiss and other extraneous noise.You'll hear no unwanted sound when you remove your fingers from the strings, especially moving from note to note. This also negates any pick noise or finger noise when touching a live string. String electronics is activated only after it touches the fret, then it stays off when your finger leaves the fret. This is as pure and clean a guitar sound as you will ever hear. The system also adds over forty percent more high and low frequencies. These and other innovations are why Bunker instruments are  supremely valued among guitar artisans Want to play your bass neck in the normal pick method? The Touch Guitar™ has a defeat switch which lets you turn off the Electro-Mute™ on either the Bass or the Guitar. Dynamic 6-Sense! Another feature which allows you to play open notes and fret touched notes is the 6-Sense effect. The 6-Sense has two trim pots which allow you to manually set how hard the string must be picked before sound will be heard and how long the string vibrates until it turns itself off again. This effect works on both the Bass and Guitar necks of the Touch Guitar.
The Dave Bunker Method Book© "Play a full Bass and a Guitar at the same time!" This is the first ever double neck Touch Guitar Method book. This book will help you learn to play music on the Touch guitar with ease.  So  take your skills and talents to new heights. Call and order your book today.
