Description

It's rare to encounter such an original, and beautifully executed, guitar design like Saul Koll's "Glide" series guitars. Build quality? Top notch. There's an organic, made-by-hand feel to this Saul Koll creation. The fretwork is excellent as is the rounded, fat C neck carve. The guitar feels great to play, due in part to the "barely there" finish on the neck and body. It has a very slinky feel which is accentuated by the Schaller wraparound bridge. The Arcane / Koll KP-90 pickups deliver Tele-like twang in the bridge position, Tele-meets-LP Special in the middle position, and an almost P90 archtop fatness in the neck position. This guitar is perfect for almost any style of music (save for the extreme / high gain variety) and inspires hours of play. Priced with a Koll Deluxe G&G hardshell case.
