Equipped with three Alan Entwistle RKS6C pickups and the innovative Entwistle Double Switch System, the Taurus offers an extensive range of tonal possibilities for players who want more than a conventional pickup configuration.
Crafted with an Okoume body, Canadian hard maple neck and Jatoba fingerboard, the Rapier Taurus delivers a comfortable, responsive playing experience with a balanced tonal foundation. Its 24.75" / 628.65 mm scale lengthprovides a slightly softer string feel, while 23 Medium Jumbo frets including a zero fret and a bone nut contribute to smooth and precise playability.
At the heart of the Taurus are three Alan Entwistle RKS6C pickups, paired with the Entwistle Double Switch Systemfor expanded pickup selection and tonal flexibility. Straightforward Volume and Tone controls make everyday sound adjustments easy, while a dedicated Bass-Cut slide switch allows players to reduce low frequencies for a tighter, brighter and more defined sound.
The HiLo Vibrato bridge provides smooth, expressive pitch modulation, while Wilkinson sealed tuners deliver precise and dependable tuning. Premium Elixir 09–42 coated strings complete the setup for a smooth playing feel and extended string life.
