BUILT BY PLAYERS.
DESIGNED FOR
TAPPING.
The Monolith was born from a shared vision between three specialists at the very top of their craft.
STEFAN HUTH
TOUCH GUITARS / MUSICIAN
FABIAN BAHNEN
FABIAN BAHNEN GUITARS
Markus Reuter
MUSICIAN / COMPOSER / EDUCATOR
Three minds one instrument
01
Stefan Huth is the head of Touch Guitars®, a musician, and a dedicated tapping player. Years of playing, designing, and refining modern touch instruments have given him a deep understanding of what these instruments need to deliver both technically and musically.
His experience at the intersection of player and instrument design has been a driving force behind the development of the Monolith.
02
Fabian Bahnen is a master guitar builder, mechanical engineer, and founder of Fabian Bahnen Guitars. His work combines traditional craftsmanship with engineering precision and an uncompromising attention to detail.
For the Monolith, Fabian brings the technical expertise required to turn radical ideas into an instrument that is precise, reliable, and beautifully engineered.
03
Markus Reuter is an internationally acclaimed musician and composer whose pioneering work in touch-style guitar playing has influenced musicians around the world.
Decades of experimentation with extended-range and touch-style instruments give Markus a unique perspective on ergonomics, expression, and performance helping shape the Monolith around the needs of the modern player.
MORE RADICAL.
MORE FUTURISTIC.
MORE FOCUSED.
Through years of building and evolving instruments at Touch Guitars®, one thing became increasingly clear. Players loved the expressive power of our U10 Deluxe 10-string and U12 Deluxe 12-string models, but many were asking for something even more radical. More futuristic. More minimal. More focused.
