the origin series
The Origin Series returns to the foundations of our work. Stripped back in form and refined in detail, these guitars pay homage to our earliest models - built with the same uncompromising approach to design, tone, and feel. They are the essence of what makes a Taran.
Made without the framework of a custom brief, each instrument is carefully considered and built on spec, allowing us to work with greater focus and efficiency while holding to the same standards that define every Taran guitar.

Meilein - 12-fret parlour
