AC Guitars Introduces Tefano SS Short Scale Bass
AC Guitars has introduced the ACG Tefano SS, a new short scale bass with a single-cut design. The new model has a 31.5” scale with features modified to suit to the smaller size.

As with other models in the ACG line, the bass is handcrafted by Scottish luthier Alan Cringean with a variety of options including woods and electronics. The bass shown has a Black Walnut body core with a Blackheart Sassafras top, a 5-piece Black Limba/Wenge neck. Built in-house, the electronics are ACG’s FB humbuckers and an EQ02 4K filter pre-amp.
Though each bass is built-to-order, the Tefano has a base price of around £1400 (~$2,256 USD). For more info, visit the AC Guitars website.
