Glide

Master Builder Saul Koll started Koll Guitar Company in 1990 and has since built guitars for especially discriminating artists like David Torn, Elliott Sharp, Lee Ranoldo and Matte Henderson. The quality of build is evident in every instrument he makes from the wood and finish right down to the tiny details like hardware and pickguard choice. Now Koll Guitar Company presents the Glide series of post modern guitars. These guitars set a new standard for players who demand beauty in shape and tone.
Koll Duo Glide

The Koll Duo Glide is a guitar with a unique look that also hearkens back to the early days of Rock ‘n Roll. Featuring a beautifully bound chambered mahogany body for resonance the Koll Duo Glide is a prime example of perfection in form and function. The maple top brings in some sparkle and the Lollar P-90's give this Duo Glide some growl and bite. The neck is also mahogany with a set joint for long sustain and plenty of note bloom and resonance. Perfect for rock, blues, country, jazz, and pretty much anything else you can throw at it, the Koll Duo Glide is one guitar that you just cannot put down no matter how hard you try.

Beautiful, but the $3600.00 price tag puts a damper on her coolness. Granted, it's apparently well built and nicely finished, but I don't see that kind of price there. I could buy a number of Reverends for that.

what guitar could you see being worth $3600?

i dig it so long as it doesn't fade to green.
 
At this point, I have come to admit that I am completely cheap, and not willing to shell out thousands of dollars for a guitar... That said, I really like the looks of that...
 
It's a sophisticated take on the old Gibson Melody Maker, maybe Melody Maker Junior, and a soap-bar Les Paul.
Chambered? Nah! You should wait until he gets into building semi-solid-bodies.
At least it would be easy to install a Fender Stratocaster tremolo unit.

i'm sure Mr. Koll will build you one with a vibrato on it if you ask.
 
Yea, yea, yea... The vintage strat trem with the bent saddles... yadda yadda.... I just can't seem to ever like them...
 
I think he'd be more interested in what I could do with his design.
Everyone else, in reality, is. I still think George Gruhn tried to build one.
And I'm just coming down from astounding a room of guitarists by playing something
they never heard before, with chords they can't play, being ordinary right-handers.

That's life online. When I walk in the room, with my guitar case, people huddle around me.
And that's looking at the case, everyone excited I'm there.
Online? It's nice to be anonymous and achieve an enforced humility.
I didn't learn that in time for HC, catching a lifetime ban for inappropriate content.
Now everything seems better.

My father always did say that I liked to hear the sound of my own voice.
I'm glad that later on, lots of business people wanted to pay me to sing.
 
If I wasn't a Mark Wein fan before, I sure am now.
That's an amazing, very personal pic, to respond with.
I'm still trying to save my face for last.
This is making me want to jam.
