Koll Super Glide Almighty Honey Burst

Description

"I didn't want to make Telecasters or Stratocasters or Les Paul copies, I wanted to do my own thing. Because these are original shapes, I had the flexibility to do anything I wanted." -Saul Koll

We haven't had many Koll Super Glide Almighty guitars in lately and are thrilled to have this stunning Honey Burst on offer! As with many of Saul's guitars, this SGA masterfully blends both elegant and refined looks with a more primitive, crank-the-closest-Marshall rock n roll soul. From the knobs to the fingerboard inlays, body binding, open back tuners, there's just an endless amount of vibe...

We absolutely love the neck carve and slinky overall feel. It's a slightly chunky "medium C"carve, and it feels a bit like a cross between a Duo Jet and, say, a Les Paul Special (chunky, but without excessive shoulder). The action is nice and low and the Bigsby works perfectly. It's a loud, resonant, and alive instrument when played acoustically...

Loaded with Arcane "Triple Clone" humbuckers, this Honey Burst SGA delivers authoritative, punchy, mid-range drenched tones work really well into both clean and overdriven amps. It's the type of guitar you can push into whatever direction you desire - Chet to Angus, it'll cover a ton of ground easily. Truthfully, that's one of our favorite things about Saul's guitars - they fit such a wide range of contexts. Anything from trio gigs at an upscale venue all the way to beer-soaked, crowded rock clubs...this guitar would be right at home in either (or both!). Not many guitars will do that with authority, right? 

If you're new to Koll, we'd strongly encourage you to check out one of Saul's guitars. We have no doubt that you'll quickly see why he is so revered in the boutique guitar world. A true artist and master craftsman! Priced with a custom Koll Deluxe G&G case.
